The global trend in the coatings market which is the increasing demand for products that are safer for human health and the environment, with the reduced use of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) and the high profile introductions of ultra low odor, low VOC paints has driven the research of Patcham to develop its solution.

Patcham Pat-Add DA 202 is a low-foaming and APEO-free pigment wetting agent solution.   The product is a high-performance additive used to formulate architectural paints and pigment dispersions with low environmental impact and high performance.
