DKSH Performance Materials, in partnership with
Eastman, a global leader in specialty materials, introduces two advanced
neutralizing amine additives —
Vantex™-T and
Advantex™ — to the
Australia and New Zealand paints and coatings markets. These next-generation solutions are designed to enhance performance, durability, and sustainability for modern coating formulations.
Vantex™-T: The Sustainable Choice for High-Performance Coatings
Vantex™-T is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a very low odor, delivering outstanding water resistance and durability. It enables the production of low-odor, low-VOC paints and coatings while supporting a broad range of resin systems.
Key Highlights:
-
Environmentally friendly, low odor, low VOC formulations
-
Broad resin compatibility with excellent multifunctional performance
-
Outstanding water resistance, durability, whitening and corrosion resistance
-
Compliance with leading global standards and eco-labels
The product complies with JG/T 481-2015, French Grenelle, AgBB, GS-11, Ecolabel, and Greenguard® Standards, and features fewer health and environmental warnings than conventional neutralizers. Beyond compliance,
Vantex™-T also provides water whitening control, syneresis control, and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable and sustainable paint formulations.
Advantex™: Cost-Effective Neutralizing Amine for Architectural Coatings
Advantex™ is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a very low odor. Specifically developed for architectural water-based coatings, it improves odor profile, enhances performance, and provides superior pigment dispersion, flash rust inhibition, and early water and corrosion resistance.
Advantex™ also offers significant cost savings by reducing antifreeze usage by nearly 70 percent, surfactant use by up to 50 percent, defoamer use by 50 percent, and lowering pigment and dispersant requirements. This makes it a highly economical solution without compromising performance.
Key Highlights:
-
Low-odor profile with excellent pigment dispersion
-
Flash rust inhibition and early corrosion protection
-
Up to 70 percent reduction in antifreeze and other raw material usage
-
Ideal for architectural and decorative coatings
