Omyasmart Technology: Multifunctional Neutralizing Agents for Long-term Stabilization of Water-Based Products

Synopsis

Producers of water-based paints are in a dilemma. They need to constantly adapt their formulations to avoid hazardous labelling of their products. At the same time, ever-increasing limitations in the choice of biocides together with threshold reductions are restricting their freedom of successful reformulation.
Thus, it becomes a real challenge to effectively stabilize their products for the requested shelf life.
On top of that, increasingly higher temperatures for longer time periods in many parts of the world due to climate change leading to further reduced shelf life of existing products, especially under hot storage conditions.
Omyasmart, an innovative natural mineral-based technology, can help address these challenges. The unique technology combines elevated pH, pH buffering, and salt technology to offer a three-pronged approach for improving the long-term stability of water-based systems. Substitution of hazardous substances with Omyasmart may lead to biocide-free products with improved shelf-life expectancy.
Omyasmart is compatible with the most common in-can biocides and can enhance their efficacy. This can provide a tremendous advantage for the storage stability.
Applied as an enhancer, Omyasmart complies with the threshold limits for biocides based on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP). Producers of water-based products may avoid skin-sensitizing classification H317 or EUH 208 of their products without limiting their storage stability. Omyasmart products are multifunctional neutralizing agents with pH buffer performance equal or even better compared to commonly used neutralizing agents available in the market. However, Omyasmart products have the advantage that they are non-corrosive, non-allergenic, odorless, and do not exhibit any VOC emissions.
Thanks to these beneficial properties, end-products containing Omyasmart are assessed to obtain the majority of the European Ecolabels. The Asthma Allergy Certificate of Denmark seems to become an increasingly important eco-label with worldwide acceptance. Omyasmart is certified to fulfill this label and thus to help people of all ages and nations to take care of their skin while preventing skin allergies.
Omyasmart Technology saves time, effort and unnecessary work required for reformulation and is the ideal choice for developing sustainable products without hazardous labelling.
