Performs well in all types of latex paints, in a variety of weather conditions, and over substrates with different levels of porosity. Ester alcohol provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent, enhancing the performance properties of the paint including low temperature coalescence, touch-up, scrub resistance, washability, color development, thermal flexibility, and resistance to mud cracking. Also enhances thickening efficiency when used with associative thickeners.
