This CP describes a white, flat latex paint (including ceiling paint) of VOC < 50 g/L used for interior surfaces. It may include white paint + primer in one product, but excludes any additional color pigments. The paint is latex acrylic, commonly utilizing a vinyl acrylic polymer in the binder (frequently vinyl acetate with butyl acrylate monomer). As a flat paint, it generally utilizes a higher proportion of pigment + extender (aka Pigment Volume Concentration or PVC) than glossier paints. Clay also helps to flatten the paint. The amount of glycols as freeze/thaw stabilizers has been reduced to meet low VOC requirements. The paint also utilizes antibacterial agents such as CMIT to preserve the paint in the can. Rheology modifiers such as hydrophobically modified ethoxylate urethanes (HEURs) are used frequently with cellulosic thickeners to improve the ease of application of the paint.
