New-to-market molecule brings combination of balanced properties that deliver performance advantages in waterborne automotive and industrial coatings and inks.

Advancion Corporation announced the commercial launch of a new, innovative etheramine with a unique combination of balanced properties that can deliver several performance advantages addressing these concerns. DMMOPA (N,N-Dimethyl-3 methoxypropyl- amine, CAS No.: 20650-07-1) is a proprietary, multifunctional formulating ingredient developed and produced by Advancion specifically for use in water-based resins, automotive and industrial coatings, inks, and other applications. “The DMMOPA molecule was designed with several key properties valuable to formulators looking to improve manufacturing, application and dry-film performance in waterborne industrial formulations,” said Dr. Romain Severac, global technical director, Paints and Coatings. “This includes a high pKa for efficient neutralization; high volatility leading to better chemical resistance, water resistance and stain resistance of dry films; a wide solubility range; and excellent compatibility with commonly used binder systems. In addition, DMMOPA is supplied in anhydrous form and offers an inert tertiary amine functionality, making it suitable as a catalyst and in reactive 2K systems.” In certain waterborne industrial and automotive applications, coatings formulations with DMMOPA cured faster and harder with an improved solvent resistance at a reduced curing temperature compared to formulations using other commodity neutralizers. Lower curing temperatures can have a significant and positive impact on reducing application cycle time, energy use and overall costs while supporting the development of multi-substrate coatings that can be used on both metal and plastic surfaces. “We’re thrilled to introduce a new-to-market molecule that not only provides industrial coatings and ink formulators with novel functionality and utility as a multifunctional neutralizer, catalyst and additive, but also reflects Advancion’s commitment to innovation,” said Scott C. Johnson, Global Business Manager, Paints and Coatings. “Even when used at a very low percentage of the overall total formulation, DMMOPA is shown to have a dramatic impact on overall performance of a formulation, including enhanced hardness and solvent resistance in automotive coatings; improved durability and corrosion resistance in industrial latex paints; and decreased water sensitivity in industrial ink applications.”
