Colour My World! New Tools for Improving Colourant Acceptance in Waterborne Architectural Coatings

The colourants used in point-of-sale tinting systems must have excellent compatibility with different base paints to ensure consistent, reproducible colours. This remains one of the toughest challenges facing the waterborne architectural paint formulator today. This paper will describe the mechanisms involved in colourant stabilization and explain how specific surfactants can be used within the base paint formulation to prevent destabilization of the colourant, ensuring its intended performance.
