Augeo®: Slow-evaporating Natural Solvent for Can Coating and Protective Coatings Epoxy Systems
Augeo® SL 191 is a slow-evaporating solvent composed molecule that joins diversified chemical functions in the same structure, and which have very interesting, specific characteristics for solubilization and film formation with the principal resins and polymers used on the paint and coating market.
A characteristic that differentiates the Augeo® SL 191 from other slow evaporating solvents available on the market is that its odor is practically imperceptible, thus making it eligible for the most diverse applications.
A bio-based solution for protective coatings epoxy systems
Augeo® SL 191 is diluent that presents the right properties to be used as a plasticizer in thermoset epoxy systems emerging as an alternative to traditional plasticizers in the market, such as benzyl alcohol.
Its adequate boiling point and unique molecular structure makes it interesting for diluting curing agents in epoxy systems that will be cured at room or low temperatures.
In the films where Augeo® SL 191 was used as a plasticizer, it was observed a much lower yellowing progression caused by photo-oxidation when compared to the films containing the traditional plasticizer.
