What Are Coalescing Agents for Coatings

Coalescing agents are additives used in water-based coatings, paints, and inks to help soften and fuse polymer particles during the film formation process. They enhance film continuity, durability, and performance by improving particle coalescence as the coating dries.

How Do Coalescing Agents Work?

  • Softening Polymer Particles – Coalescing agents temporarily reduce the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) of the binder resin.

  • Promoting Film Formation – As water and volatile components evaporate, softened polymer particles come together, forming a smooth, uniform film.

  • Evaporation & Hardening – After aiding film formation, the coalescing agent evaporates, leaving a durable, continuous film.

Key Benefits of Coalescing Agents

  • Improves Film Formation – Ensures a smooth, defect-free coating.

  • Enhances Mechanical Properties – Increases flexibility, adhesion, and durability.

  • Reduces MFFT – Allows coatings to dry at lower temperatures.

  • Optimizes Performance – Improves gloss, scrub resistance, and water resistance.

How To Chose Coalescing Agents?

  • Identify the Resin System and Compatibility (Water Based/Solvent Based)

  • Consider VOC Regulations and Compliances (High/LowZero VOC)

  • Evaluate Performance Requirements (Evaparation Rate/Odour/Flexibility/Scrub resistant)
