Physical Properties

Application

• In latex emulsion paints, KOBOND™ 9126 is not only a very effective pigment co-dispersant, but also provides pH stability, low odor, and corrosion protection.

• KOBOND™ 9126 performs well as an emulsifier for polyethylene and waxes using both conventional and pressurized emulsification techniques.

• In addition, KOBOND™ 9126 is an excellent amine compound that neutralizes the carboxylic acid groups in acid-functional resins, making them suitable for waterborne coatings and other waterborne applications. Coatings formulated with KOBOND™ 9126 exhibit better gloss and water resistance than other neutralizing amines.

• In boiler water systems, KOBOND™ 9126 is an effective amine additive for CO2 removal and corrosion control.

• As a high-performance alkanolamine, KOBOND™ 9126 has proven to be a versatile metalworking fluid additive. It not only significantly enhances alkalinity, but also has excellent corrosion and antimicrobial properties, is resistant to microbial degradation, and does not cause cobalt leaching in carbide tools.

• KOBOND™ 9126 also improves the efficacy of triazine biocides and reduces airborne formaldehyde levels, and unlike other amines, it does not cause ammonia gas emissions.

• In the personal care field, KOBOND™ 9126 is an important additive that is compatible with nearly all styling resins. Its high basicity and low molecular weight allow formulators to use less when neutralizing resins. It can also be used to neutralize carbomer resins, emulsify with stearic acid, and produce amides and other derivatives for cosmetic use (CTFA/INCI name: aminomethyl propanol).

• Finally, KOBOND™ 9126 also works well in dilute aqueous solutions containing small amounts of formaldehyde, effectively scavenging formaldehyde that could be released into the atmosphere.
