Archer RC™

ADM

Archer RC™ reactive coalescent is a naturally derived alternative to traditional coalescing solvents for latex paints. When tested as part of a representative paint formulation, Archer RC™ reactive coalescent does not contribute to VOC emissions, according to EPA Method 24. Unlike traditional solvent-based coalescing agents, which volatize into the atmosphere upon drying, Archer RC™ reactive coalescent remains in the paint, forming a strong and durable film.
