customers with a broad range of sustainable solutions and services
including products optimized around criteria such as biodegradability,
eco-toxicity, VOC content, and percentage of renewable materials.
Solvay VOC-free defoamers and APE-free surfactants are examples

of its commitment to sustainability and the environment.
Solvay recognizes the difficulties in selecting the optimal surfactant

system for wetting, dispersing or designing an emulsion polymer system.
Formulators require surfactants that perform and are compatible with the
entire formula and do not compromise the quality of the coating.
Environmental concerns are also key drivers behind the reformulation of
well-established systems, leaving formulators with additional challenges
to overcome, such as the conversion to APE-free systems or ensuring
compatibility with low to VOC-free formulations.
Solvay Novecare is developing and expanding its line of industry-leading

paint additives to enhance the performance of VOC-free and APE-free
water-based formulations while providing additional benefits such as
improved freeze-thaw, open time, film appearance, defoaming and wetting
characteristics. Solvay consistently develops new sustainable additives
that allow formulators to address the performance challenges of newer
waterborne formulations, while answering the demand for more sustainable
and cost-effective products.

Example: Maintenance Coatings: An environmental solution that works!
Organic coatings play an important role in corrosion protection. One of the key challenges to convert solventborne systems
to more sustainable, water-based formulation resides in significant loss in adhesion and anticorrosion performances.
Thanks to it’s excellence in metal adhesion, SIPOMER® PAM-200 boosts the performance of acrylic waterborne
resins enabling matching performance versus solventborne anticorrosion coatings, allowing low VOC coatings formulations
and consumers who are demanding new products that meet or exceed the requirements for lower VOC coatings.

SIPOMER® COPS-1 is a 40% aqueous solution of sodium

1-allyloxy-2-hydroylpropyl sulfonate:
CH2 = CH - CH2 - O - CH2 - CH(OH) - CH2 - SO3Na
Even at levels as low as 0.5 - 1.0% (based on total monomer),

SIPOMER® COPS-1 provides latex stability, such as shelf life, freeze/thaw
and mechanical and chemical stability. It also provides block resistance for
the final polymer.
With SIPOMER® COPS-1, the levels of conventional can be reduced

significantly. Surfactants are key component in providing stability to latex.
However their migration to the interface causes water sensitivity to the dry
polymer film.
SIPOMER® COPS-1 reacts with other reacts with other comonomers through
the chemical (covalent) bond. The sulfonate group will remain at the surface of
the particle providing very good stability to the latex. Since the functionality is
anchored to the polymer backbone, it will not migrate after film formation and
thus cannot modify interfacial properties. As a result of the reduction of
conventional surfactant, the foaming tendency of the latex and the water
sensitivity of the polymer film are both reduced.
SIPOMER® COPS-1
Reactivity Ratio Data for SIPOMER® COPS-1 (M1)
The reactivity ratio data show that the r1 values for SIPOMER® COPS-1 are
close to 0, suggesting that homopolymerization of this monomer is unlikely.
There is no need for adding an inhibitor to this monomer. As shown on the
Mayo representation below, the most favorable reactivity ratios were found for
SIPOMER® COPS-1 with vinyl acetate and VeoVA 10. However, SIPOMER®
COPS-1 can also work very effectively in acrylic and styrene/acrylic systems.

wT he ureido ring promotes interaction with the substrate via its high polarity
and hydrogen bonding.
w The
amine functionality provides an additional site for interaction
with substrate and pigment.
SIPOMER® WAM modifies the latex binder, enabling it to wet the pigment
particles more effectively, due to reduced interfacial tension.
Effects of Amine and Ureido Functionalities, Alone and In Combination
Lab tests demonstrate exceptional wet adhesion
Test after test has proven that all-acrylic and vinyl-acrylic polymers containing
SIPOMER® WAM provide latex paints with the best and most cost-effective
wet-adhesion properties available. In a Wet Pick Adhesion Test, latex with
SIPOMER® WAM showed greater wet adhesion as indicated by the substantially
smaller area of peeling. And in a Wet Adhesion Abrasion Test, the latex paint
containing SIPOMER® WAM demonstrated outstanding wet-scrub performance.

SIPOMER® HPM 200 NEWTONIAN

SIPOMER® HPM 200 delivers high shear efficiency. SIPOMER® HPM 200 allows to easily
match Newtonian thickeners profiles.
Solvay SIPOMER® HPMs are 50 Wt% active specialty methacrylic monomers designed to easily access desired rheology
profiles. Working with SIPOMER® HPMs provides choice in profile and significant cost saving versus “generic” HASE.
Properties
Solvay SIPOMER® HPMs were incorporated in standard HASE polymer recipes and benchmarked versus well known
“generic” HASE at equal viscosity (95KU) in 30 Wt% solid latex (table 1) as well as at equal use level in flat paints (table 2).
While the HPM 200 based thickener presents a very performant solution as Newtonian ICI builder, the HPM 100 based
HASE combines KU building and improved ICI viscosity. Whereas cellulosic replacement is targeted, HPM 400 based
system offers matching profile with higher efficiency.

Wetting: Liquid that replaces air on the surface of the pigment

particle by reducing the interfacial tension
Electrostatic Stabilisation
Dispersant: Product that maintains fine solid particles in a
suspended state and inhibits aggregation or sedimentation in a
liquid medium
Stabilization: Prevents re-agglomeration by electrostatic and/or

steric repulsion
Steric Stabilisation
PIGMENT STABILIZATION
Challenges:
• Maintain storage stability of pigment concentrates
over longer time periods
• Compatibility of these pigment concentrates with different
coating systems after enduring longer storage time
• Color acceptance/development in tinted systems
Performance:
