The new Boltorn® W3000 is an emulsifying air-drying resin for converting solventborne alkyds into alkyd emulsions.
Dendritic polymers offer extensive design possibilities.With Boltorn® W3000 we have been able to develop an amphiphilic dendritic structure that contains both non-ionic water-dispersible groups as well as hydrophobic air-drying groups. The result is a powerful emulsifying resin that enables traditional high molecular weight solventborne alkyds to be easily converted to their waterborne equivalents.
The combination of high dispersing efficiency and high reactivity of Boltorn® W3000 allows the production of alkyd emulsion-based paints with exceptionally fast drying.
