Coalescent Agent RTC-12 supplied by Global Optimals is a high‑performance film‑forming additive based on complex glycol di‑ester esters. The di‑ester backbone contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments, which gives the additive excellent compatibility with water‑borne dispersions and promotes the formation of a uniform film as the solvent evaporates. RTC-12 is widely used where rapid formation of a strong yet flexible coating is required, such as automotive topcoats, exterior façade paints, and wood‑protective emulsion coatings. In acrylic and styrene‑acrylic dispersions the agent reduces porosity, improves barrier properties and enhances UV resistance, making it valuable for furniture finishes that must endure temperature swings. The additive is compatible with a broad range of polymer binders—including emulsion acrylics, modified styrene‑acrylic copolymers, and can be combined with common formulation aids such as plasticizers, antifoam agents, and pH stabilizers. When dosed at 1–5 % of the total dispersion, RTC-12 balances cure speed with film toughness; lower levels mainly act as a cure accelerator, while the upper end provides flexibility modification. For storage, keep the material in a dry, cool environment (+5 °C to +30 °C) protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Packaging is offered in sealed 200 kg steel drums or 25 kg polyethylene containers, facilitating logistics and preserving product integrity. Complete technical documentation—TDS, SDS and COA—allows rapid quality verification on the production line.

Store RTC‑12 in a dry, well‑ventilated area at ambient temperatures (approximately +5 °C to +25 °C), protected from direct sunlight and heat sources. When stored under these conditions the product typically retains its performance for 12–24 months, but a pre‑use inspection is recommended. Use protective gloves, safety goggles and respiratory protection during handling, avoiding skin contact and inhalation of vapors. Maintain package integrity; if the container is damaged, transfer the material to a new, tightly sealed vessel.
