Monoacid Monomers for Coatings and Inks

Prisorine™ 3503 by Cargill is a light colored, liquid isostearic acid. It consists of methyl branched C18 fatty acid isomers with smaller amounts of linear saturated fatty acids and oleic acid. It is easy to handle and offers manufacturing flexibility and improved aesthetics.

• The low unsaturation and especially the absence of poly-unsaturation provides excellent oxidation resistance and color stability.
• It allows product to deform under stress and prevents cracking.
• It exhibits thermo-oxidative stability for longer product lifetime, allowing for exposure to high temperature conditions.
• It also imparts pigment wetting properties which allow high loading of pigment/fillers while bringing cost savings.
• Prisorine™ 3503 is suitable for low color applications, metallic pastes and inks.
• It can also be used in conjunction with flexible substrates.

Prisorine™ 3508 by Cargill is a vegetable-derived, light colored, liquid isostearic acid. It consists of methyl branched C18 fatty acid isomers with smaller amounts of linear saturated fatty acids and oleic acid. It possesses a higher iodine value and is recommended for less critical applications.

• The low unsaturation and especially the absence of poly-unsaturation provides excellent color stability and oxidation resistance, considerably better than oleic acid and its derivatives.
• It allows product to deform under stress, prevents cracking, and can also be used in conjunction with flexible substrates.
• It exhibits thermo-oxidative stability for longer product lifetime, allowing for exposure to high temperature conditions.
• It also imparts pigment wetting properties which allow high loading of pigment/fillers while bringing cost savings.
• Prisorine™ 3508 is suitable for metallic pastes, inks and low color applications.
• It is easy to handle and offers manufacturing flexibility and improved aesthetics.

Prifac™ 7990 by Cargill is a light-colored, modified fatty acid building block. It offers flexibility to alkyds that are used in industrial applications.

• It shows enhanced solubility in most solvents with a branched hydrocarbon chain.
• It offers good pigment wetting and non-yellowing properties.
• Prifac™ 7990 is suitable for protective coatings.

Linoleic acid-rich blend derived wholly from tall oil fatty acid source. Pamolyn™ 240 Fatty Acid by Synthomer is a pale, oily liquid with low odor. Exhibits high resistance to discoloration on exposure to heat and light. Contains low rosin acid content and low unsaponifiables. Because of near absence of saturated fatty acids, it has an exceptionally low titer. Pamolyn™ 240 Fatty Acid by Synthomer suitable for printing inks, epoxy-ester coatings and protective alkyd coatings. Listed on TSCA (US Toxic Substances Control Act), DSL (Canadian Domestic Substances List), AICS/ NICNAS (Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances and National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme), MITI (Japanese Handbook of Existing and New Chemical Substances), ECL (Korean Toxic Substances Control Act), PICCS (Philippines Inventory) and IECSC (Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China).

DMPA® Dimethylolpropionic Acid by GEO Specialty Chemicals is a unique and versatile hindered diol molecule with both hydroxyl and carboxyl functionality. Used to introduce carboxylic functional groups into the polymer backbone. Applications of DMPA® Dimethylolpropionic Acid include water based alkyds and polyesters, PUDs and e-deposition coatings.

Pamolyn™ 150 Fatty Acid by Synthomer is a low odor fatty acid. It is derived wholly from a tall oil fatty acid source. Exhibits excellent color stability, low unsaponifiables and low titer point. It has high oleic acid and low saturated acid content. Also exhibits uniform fatty acid composition. It is free of lower molecular weight acids and has C18 origin. It is converted to soaps, sulfonated products and other derivatives. Designed for textile processing aids, automotive additives and mold lubricants. Also used as agents for production of synthetic rubber, surfactants and flotation reagents. Pamolyn™ 150 Fatty Acid is recommended for commercial printing inks, paints and protective coatings.
