K-FLEX® PG

K-FLEX® PG by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is an ultra-low-VOC coalescent and plasticizer. It is propylene glycol dibenzoate. It shows excellent compatibility with polar polymers and achieves stronger, better-coalesced films with excellent performance characteristics such as scrub-, corrosion-, dirt pick-up- and blocking resistance. Like K-FLEX® DP, K-FLEX® PG has an extremely low freeze point, which results in easier handling. It provides an improved economy. In-floor polish applications improve gloss development between consecutive coats, as well as excellent leveling, recoatability, hardness development, removability, and resistance to soiling, water spots, and powdering. It offers excellent chemistry and regulatory profile and has no GHS label requirements in the U.S. and Europe. It is a very high solvator and is particularly useful in blends of plasticizers to tailor characteristics and end-performance. It is listed in FDA 21 CFR 175.105-components of coatings.
