Benefits & Applications
Coatings: Glycol Ether DPNB shows excellent coalescing performance in various resins including Acrylics, Styrene-Acrylics and Polyvinyl Acetates. It also offers superior film forming characteristics. These features, coupled with mild odor, make Glycol Ether DPNB a preferred solvent for interior water-based paints.
Cleaners: Glycol Ether DPNB has a mild odor and can be used in a variety of cleaners. It is particularly suited for use in cleaner formulations which require a slow evaporation rate, such as wax strippers and floor cleaners. Glycol Ether DPNB is an effective coupling agent for many greases and oils. It has low water solubility which is increased by the addition of low molecular weight alcohols and other Propylene Glycol Ethers.
