MultiTech Multifunctional D

MultiTech Multifunctional D optimizes the performance of alkyd-based paint and coating formulations by preventing surface skin formation due to contact with atmospheric oxygen when, between uses, such formulations sit in containers. MultiTech Multifunctional D is a breakthrough product that offers a safe, cost-effective replacement for MEKO, typically with equal efficacy and compatibility with other components in such formulations. With EU-REACH certification and low-toxicity, MultiTech Multifunctional D is ideal for paints and coatings producers looking to reformulate high-performance alkyd-based systems post ECHAs reclassification of MEKO as a Carcinogen 1B substance on March 1, 2022.

Performance Highlights

MultiTech Multifunctional D anti-skinning agent has a distinct, low-toxicity profile, and can be used as a drop in replacement for MEKO. These and other qualities described below are particularly important to European customers who need to address, in advance, the proposed recategorisation of MEKO with a reliable, proven and easy-to-convert solution.

MultiTech Multifunctional D Performance Overview

Benefits Characteristics Details
Safe To Use Low Worker Exposure Comfortably meets strictest German OEL1 standards, with a risk profile up to 100 times safer than MEKO3 .
Low Toxicology Profile
  • Not a skin sensitiser
  • No acute hazard concerns
  • Not genotoxic in animals
  • DNEL1 is at least twenty-five times higher than MEKO therefore, MultiTech Multifunctional D anti-skinning agent is safer than MEKO
  • Presently, the sole REACH registrant worldwide
No Cancer-Causing Potential in Liver As determined from toxicogenomic analysis
Favorable Results Extensive body of independent research and testing demonstrates MultiTech Multifunctional D anti-skinning agent has a distinct, low-toxicology profile.
Cost Effective Easy Switchover Paint producers have no need for costly reformulations or extensive research and development work.
Flexible Enables dosage flexibility similar to MEKO, resulting in low operational costs.
Unique All other alternative anti-skinning agents would require costly formulation changes.
Proven Performance Customer Approved Alkyd resin and paint producers in the European Union have fully tested and approved MultiTech Multifunctional D anti-skinning agent as a drop-in replacement for MEKO.
Market Validated Many paint producers have already launched decorative and wood coating products in the EU market utilizing MultiTech Multifunctional D anti-skinning agent.
High Quality Anti-skinning performance and compatibility are equivalent to the highest standard MEKO; no other alternative can match these results.
