Vantex^®-T is a coalescent neutralization amine additive that will allow paint manufacturers to formulate high quality, low VOC paints, having virtually no amine odor. Vantex^®-T is a new tool in the low VOC/low odor strategy of paint formulators.

Vantex^®-T has a very low vapor pressure, with virtually no odor; it is not considered a VOC by calculation or measurement. It can be used as a replacement for current paint neutralization systems, and as a coalescing aid, providing for the reduction/elimination of coalescing solvents.

Vantex^®-T benefits:

• Vantex^®-T enables paint manufacturers to achieve reduced VOC targets by reducing solvent levels
• Vantex^®-T enables paint producers to make lower odor paints
• Vantex^®-T provides excellent film forming properties and multifunctional performance
• Vantex^®-T enables the use of a broad range of resins types
