CODIS™ 95 & CODIS™ BIO are not only used as pH stabilizers, but are also used as co-dispersants, emulsifiers, and protectors against corrosion. These products from our supply partner ADDAPT Chemicals can be used in application areas ranging from CASE to lubricants.
Ammonia is the most commonly used amine, being low cost, but is highly odorous and has high volatility resulting in pH instability. To overcome these disadvantages formulators have looked at successfully incorporating various Alkanol-amines. In addition to lower volatility and lower odour, these Alkanol-amines also allow superior corrosion resistance, VOC reduction in formulation, excellent pH buffering and very good pigment dispersion properties.
The product CODIS™ BIO is more than 75% based on renewable raw materials and is additionally VOC/SVOC free and label free. In CODIS™ 95, the biobased content is greater than 40%. Both products are also FDA compliant for direct and indirect food contact.
