BDMA is used in quaternary ammonium salts

BDMA is also used in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts, production of cationic surface active powerful bactericides, etc.

There is a clear difference between the preparation of solvent-based and wax for water-based coatings. The wetting step of solvent-based coatings is relatively simple. Because the solvents and resins used have low surface tension1, no special additives are needed to improve the wetting. The surface tension (mN/m) of some solvents and resins are as follows:
Xylene 30 amino resin 58
Butyl acetate 25 oil-free polyester 47
White alcohol 24 Methyl methacrylate 41
Long oil soy oil alkyd 37

Due to the high surface tension of water, water-based systems require special additives to reduce the surface tension and satisfy the wetting of the pigment. Aqueous dispersant: 35~45mN/m; water: 72.7mN/m.

In addition, in aqueous systems, various mechanisms can be used to stabilize the dispersion of pigments. In solvent-based systems, steric hindrance can be used to prevent re-agglomeration. Traditional latex paint uses electrostatic repulsion, and the principle of pigment dispersion and stability is shown in Figure 26-6. In architectural coatings, most water-based paints use anionic dispersants, such as polyacrylate [151], which is widely used. However, it is found that it cannot provide sufficient stability to organic pigments in color pastes, and is compatible with most coatings. Very bad.
