Product Features
Boiling point: 170℃
Density: Approximately 0.88 g/cm ³ (20℃)
Flash point: 49℃(closed cup)
Volatilization rate: about 0.03 (butyl acetate=1), extremely slow dry solvents.
Solubility: Partially miscible to completely miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, and fatty hydrocarbons. It shows excellent coupling ability, able to bridge water with various organic solvents/resins.
Application
Water based industrial coatings and inks
As a core film forming agent, it can effectively reduce the minimum film forming temperature (MFFT) of lotion or dispersion, promote the fusion of polymer particles, and form a dense and durable paint film.
Widely used in industrial paints such as water-based acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, wood coatings, and printing inks.
Industrial and household cleaning agents
As a coupling solvent and penetrant, it can effectively connect water with hydrophobic resins, additives, and oil stains, and is widely used in industrial cleaning agents, degreasing agents, glass cleaning agents, etc., to remove oil and grease effectively.
