Abstract
A coating composition includes a latex component and an agent for replacing all or part of the volatile coalescing solvent. The agent has the following formula:X(AO)Hwherein The coating composition has a VOC content of less than or equal to 150 g/L. The agent for replacing the volatile coalescing solvent contributes little or nothing to a total VOC level in the coating composition. As such, the coating composition may be formulated to have a VOC content of less than or equal to 150 g/L, which meets or exceeds standards for VOC content in interior and exterior flat and non-flat paints for all sheen ranges, while providing equivalent or superior properties to those provided by volatile coalescing solvents.
