Product Description
Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 is a low odor coalescent that is compatible with a variety of latex types. It is an efficient coalescent that aids in the development of latex paints that have a good balance of performance properties. Optifilm 400 delivers excellent film integrity, touch-up properties, and scrub resistance, even at the lowest VOC demands. Paints prepared with Optifilm 400 have also demonstrated good exterior durability after one year exposure. It can also be blended with other coalescents such as Eastman Texanol™ ester alcohol or Eastman EEH glycol ether to further optimize the balance of low VOC content and paint performance.
