Film-Forming Agent / Alcohol Ester for Water-Based Systems: ALCOTER®

Ester alcohol is a film-forming agent formulated with "2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol isobutyrate," used in water-based decorative paints and coatings. As Hecckem, the ester alcohol we market under the name ALCOTER® is a reliable film-forming agent with a light odor that delivers high performance even at low concentrations. It is an excellent coalescing aid for emulsion polymers. ALCOTER® reduces the minimum film-forming temperature (MFFT) of styrene acrylic copolymer in water-based paints, preventing pore and micro-crack formation during film formation and ensuring optimal film integrity. When ALCOTER® is added to an emulsion paint, it is first absorbed by the system, softened, and provides complete coalescence as the paint film dries. ALCOTER; • In interior and exterior facade paints, • In caulks, • In mastics, • In water-based inks and printing paints is actively used as a film-forming additive. As Hecckem, we are pleased to provide service with a continuously expanding product and customer portfolio, maintaining quality standards in the sector and aiming for the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our slogan on this path is; "For You".   Burcu Karadeniz Chemical Engineer Domestic Sales Manager Hecckem
