    JS-PPh is a colorless transparent liquid with a pleasant aromatic sweet odor. Its non-toxic and environmentally friendly properties significantly reduce the VOC content of coatings. As a highly effective film-forming agent for various water-based latex and dispersion coatings, it is particularly effective in gloss and semi-gloss paints. It is a strong solvent for various polymers such as vinyl acetate, acrylate, and styrene-acrylate. Its low water solubility (lower than the evaporation rate of water, which helps swell particles) ensures complete absorption by latex particles, forming an excellent continuous film that imparts the best coalescence and color development properties to latex paints, while also providing good storage stability. Compared with conventional film-forming agents such as TEXANOL (domestically known as alcohol ester-12), under conditions of complete film formation, equivalent gloss, flow, sag resistance, color development, and scrub resistance, the dosage of JS-PPh can be reduced by approximately 30-50%. With its extremely strong coalescing capability, the overall film-forming efficiency is improved by 1.5-2 times, resulting in significantly lower production costs. For most emulsions, adding JS-PPh at 3.5-5% of the emulsion amount can achieve a minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) of -1℃.
    Through product optimization, JS-PPh(E) and (T) can be added directly at any stage of paint manufacturing, greatly simplifying the operation process. This overcomes the stability issues associated with high-concentration use of this type of product in pure acrylic emulsions, special dispersions, or self-made emulsions.

Usage and Dosage:
        1: We recommend adding JS-PPh before the emulsion, or during the pigment grinding stage, so that JS-PPh can be easily coupled with other components in the formulation system, achieving better emulsification and dispersion without affecting the stability of pigments, etc. 
        2: Generally, the addition amount for pure acrylic emulsion is 3.5-6%, for vinyl acetate-acrylic emulsion is 2.5-4.5%, and for styrene-acrylic emulsion is typically 2-4%.

Packaging and Storage:
    1: 50kg plastic-coated drums, 200kg plastic-lined drums.
    2: This product is classified as non-hazardous and should be stored in a cool, dry place.
