ANGUS Introduces Zero VOC Multifunctional Amine in Europe and Asia Pacific for Paint & Coatings
Buffalo Grove, IL - April 28, 2008 ANGUS Chemical Company (ANGUS), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), has introduced an enhanced primary amine, AEPD™ VOX 1000 Multifunctional Amine for interior water-based paints. AEPD VOX 1000 has a non-VOC designation in Europe and Asia Pacific, making it an excellent choice as a multifunctional amine for VOC-free paints in these regions. Low odor, high boiling point, non-yellowing characteristic, and low vapor pressure are additional key benefits of AEPD VOX 1000. Chemically similar to the ANGUS flagship product, AMP™ Multifunctional Amine (2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol), AEPD VOX 1000 demonstrates similar functionality. However, it exhibits an additional hydroxyl functional group, which allows for increased open time and wet-edge improvements without lowering the scrub resistance. AEPD VOX 1000 Multifunctional Amine was developed in response to customer demand for a product that would help formulators meet European restrictions on VOC content. “Government regulations and consumer concerns have led to increased demand for low VOC and VOC-free paints and finishes,” said Liam Doherty, global marketing manager for ANGUS Chemical Company. “The multifunctional amine technology available from ANGUS is already an enabling technology. AEPD VOX 1000 will help our customers formulate low VOC and VOC-free paints and finishes without compromising the quality of their product offering.” ANGUS Chemical Company ANGUS Chemical Company continues to develop and deliver distinct nitroalkane-based chemistries for customers in applications as diverse as paints and coatings, metalworking fluids, water treatment, biological buffers, solvents and thinners, wood adhesives, pharmaceutical and agricultural intermediates. Aligned as a market-focused, problem-solving specialty chemicals business, ANGUS is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company.
