K-FLEX® 975P

K-FLEX® 975P by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is an ultra-low-VOC coalescent and plasticizer. It is a blend of diethylene glycol-, dipropylene glycol- and propylene glycol dibenzoate. It has excellent compatibility with polar polymers and achieves stronger, better-coalesced films with excellent performance characteristics. It is economical to use and is created to offer improved handling due to its lower freeze point. It shows excellent scrub-, dirt- & blocking resistance, gloss and Tg suppression. K-FLEX® 975P can also be used in direct-to-metal and corrosion-resistant coatings, where it demonstrates excellent hardness development and salt fog resistance. It is suitable for architectural latex- and other coatings including graphic arts. It is designed for use in waterborne overprint varnishes & flexographic inks. In-floor polish applications, it provides a range of performance benefits, including excellent leveling, recoatability, removability and resistance to soiling, water spots, and powdering. It is listed in FDA 21 CFR 175.105-components of coatings.
