PRIMAL TM SF-016 ER 

PURE ACRYLIC POLYMER FOR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PAINTS 

SUMMARY 

Primal SF-016 ER acrylic emulsion 

has been designed for the formulation of 

environmentally friendly, low odour, 

interior and exterior coatings. It has 

excellent pigment binding capacity which 

permits formulation of flat wall paints at 

high pigment volume concentration while 

maintaining good scrub resistance and 

excellent exterior durability capability. 

Thus, Primal SF-016 ER can be 

formulated economically in solvent free 

flat paints compared to competitive 

technologies and has large formulation 

versatility. 

High PVC wall paints based on Primal 

SF-016 ER exhibit excellent wet colour 

rub, particularly visible in deep tones, 

which further distinguish it from other 

solvent free products and allow the 

formulation of superior coatings. 

In addition, Primal SF-016 ER allows 

the manufacture of interior sheen paints 

with good resistance to block and dirt 

pick up. Its all acrylic composition 

permits use in exterior coatings for 

mineral substrates such as masonry and 

on wood.

FORMULATIONS GUIDELINES 

Primal SF-016 ER allows specific 

solvent free formulation development 

and demonstrates wide formulation 

latitude from satin to flat paints including 

woodstains, which are suitable for both 

interior and exterior applications. 

It is a versatile binder for paint 

companies wishing to stock in bulk a 

minimum number of raw materials. 

Below are some guidelines to 

help formulators: 

Dispersants 

In our studies, good pigment dispersion 

and stability results were obtained with 

Orotan 731-A ER or Orotan N-4045 

at 0.8% to 1% active ingredient level 

based on pigment and extenders. 

Defoamers 

Standard defoamers can be used with 

Primal SF-016 ER. For example, 

Tego ® Foamex 1495 or Byk ® -024 gives 

good results. 

Rheology Modifiers & Thickeners 

Rohm and Haas Acrysol RM-12W, 

Acrysol DR-73 ER, Acrysol DR-72 and 

HEUR rheology modifiers (Acrysol RM- 

8W, Acrysol RM-5000) have all been 

used successfully in formulating semigloss 

to matt paints based on Primal 

SF-016 ER. 

Coalescents and co-solvents 

No coalescing agent is required with 

Primal SF-016 ER to achieve good 

film formation down to 0°C. 

However, an addition of Texanol at 2-3 

% on polymer solids improves early 

water resistance in exterior masonry 

formulations. 

Extenders and opaque polymer 

Standard extenders can be used in 

paints formulated with Primal SF-016 

ER. 

Rohm and Haas organic opacifier 

Ropaque Ultra E has shown excellent 

results when used in satin to matt 

formulations based on Primal SF-016 

ER. Additionally, the use of Ropaque 

Ultra E in exterior coatings is 

recommended to further improve dirt 

pick up, algae and mould resistance. 

Adjustment of pH 

The pH of paints based on Primal SF- 

016 ER need to be adjusted between 

8.5 and 9.5 to ensure good mechanical 

shear stability and avoid flocculation. 

Any base can be used for pH 

adjustment, the final choice will depend 

on the paint type (typically ammonia for 

exterior coatings and low odour hard 

bases for interior). 

Biocides 

Primal SF-016 ER is preserved with a 

combination of BIT (1,2- 

Benzisothiazolin-3-one) and DTBMA 

(dithio-2, 2'-bis(N-methylbenzamide)). 

Although standard in can preservatives 

could be used by the formulators, it is 

always recommended to test 

compatibility and efficacy in small scale 

quantities. 

Rocima 564 is recommended as in-can 

preservative. 

If Primal SF-016 ER is used in wet 

rooms or in exterior coatings it is 

recommended to use a film preservative 

like Rocima 350.

Storage and handling 


Most emulsions from Rohm and Haas 

have excellent storage stability, so 

agitation is not needed unless the 

products are held static for six weeks or 

more, which may occur in an extended 

shutdown. Though not absolutely 

necessary, intermittent agitation may be 

used when the tank is heated to hold the 

temperature constant, but take care to 

avoid excessive foam formation. It is 

highly desirable that the air space over 

the emulsion in the tank is humidified to 

limit skin formation. A regular injection of 

steam can efficiently maintain a water 

saturated or humid condition. A coarse 

filter (400 – 800 µm) positioned in the 

transfer line is also recommended to 

remove any skin or grit. 

When tanks are located at sites (inside or 

outside), in which freezing temperatures 

may exist continuously for 12 hours, 

insulation and heating must be provided 

to prevent freezing of the emulsion. As a 

general rule, emulsions should always be 

stored at temperatures above 5°C and 

below 30°C. Most polymer emulsions 

cannot tolerate repeated freezing and 

thawing. Primarily, we recommend 

vertical tanks constructed from thinwalled, 

reinforced stainless steel.
