ALKYD EMULSIFIER
ES–EAGLE 4045 TECHNOLOGY
Emulsion (Water / Oil)
ES-EAGLE 4045, Alkyd Emulsifier reduces the cost of solvent-based alkyd
coatings while maintaining quality. It uses a new technology allowing water to
replace VOC components by volume.

ES-EAGLE 4045, Alkyd Emulsifier allows the addition of up to 50% water Water
into solvent-based alkyd paints without any additional raw materials or
process change. This recent technology uses mechanical energy to break
the water into fine, stable micelles, enabling the formation of a water-in-oil
emulsion, that remains reducible with mineral spirits and other alkyd solvents. Oil

ADVANTAGES
• Significant cost savings, by increasing resultant paint volume
• Easy to apply, as all formulation procedures are performed as usual without any complicated calculations
• Economic, as it represents 0.3-1% of the total formulation
• For pre emulsion we recommend 1.5% to 2.5% of water content
• Achieves better performance, in terms of better whitening ,gloss, opacity and rehology
• Helps satisfying the VOC regulation, by substituting the amount of solvents by water
• Maintains the ability to dilute the resulting coating with mineral spirits and other alkyd solvents

PROPERTIES
Viscosity @23°C 200-600 cP @ sp3 / rpm 20
Density @23°C Approx 1.25 kg/l
Solid content 45 ± 2%
Color Dark Brownish-Greenish color

RECOMMENDED RESINS

LA-EAGLE(SWZ64-5/70) 80%
LA-EAGLE(VWZ64-9/70) 80%
LA-EAGLE(SW65-4/60) 75%
LA-EAGLE(SW64-65/70) 70%
• It is highly preferable to use ES-EAGLE 4045 with low viscosity resins
• For low VOC, low viscosity paints, it is recommended either to reduce the
water content below 25% or to use LA(SW65-4/60)75%

FORMULATION PROCEDURE
Grinding Stage:
It is performed as usual
Let Down Process:
1. Add the rest of the alkyd
2. Add ES-EAGLE 4045 to vortex created and mix well
3. Replace percent of solvent by water, added in shots
4. After complete addition of water keep the system at high speed
for 30 minutes
5. Adjust the viscosity with white spirit or any type of alkyd solvents
