The unique characteristics of simple acid-base interactions have been exploited in designing new amine-functional reactive coalescing agents (RCAs). In addition to properties similar to commercial state-of-the-art coalescing agents (CAs), these RCAs possess reactivity that makes them suitable for producing true VOC-free/emission-free waterborne coatings.
