Formulating Stable Latex Paints With Zinc Oxide
The stability of architectural latex paints containing zinc oxide was examined in terms of the influence each formulation component had on the stability of the formulation. This study examines the effect of dispersant selection, titanium dioxide grade, extenders, and binder, as well as formulation parameters such as pH, initial viscosity, pigment volume content, and percent volume solids. While typical single component effects were observed, interaction effects between components were found to be equally important in determining the stability of the formulation.
