  • Low VOC and APE free universal paint colourant compositions
    Patent number: 9080030
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a universal colorant composition that is essentially free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs). The present invention comprises a dispersing vehicle that comprises a low molecular weight carbamide compound, a C3-C5 polyalcohol, a polyethylene glycol, and optionally water. The dispersing vehicle provides excellent humectant and dispersing properties. The colorant composition comprising the dispersing vehicle maintains its stability and functionality following extended exposure to the atmosphere and/or temperature extremes. The present invention provides a colorant composition that is universally compatible with a wide variety of aqueous/water-based and organic solvent-based paints and coatings, while exhibiting physical and performance characteristics that are comparable to conventional colorant compositions that contain VOCs and APEs.
