A fast-evaporating, hydrophobic glycol ether with high solvency and excellent coupling abilities.
DOWANOL PnB glycol ether is extensively used in heavy-duty cleaning formulations. It does an excellent job of solvating and coupling hydrophobic greases and oils in household as well as industrial formulations. It is partly
water soluble and miscible with most organic solvents. DOWANOL PnB glycol ether also provides excellent surfacetension lowering ability. In coatings DOWANOL PnB offers good coalescing ability in systems requiring fast
evaporation.
-Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, grease and paint removers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
-Effective coupling agent and efficient solvent for water-reducible coatings. Effective coalescent for lowering minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) in water-borne latex coatings.
- Active solvent for solvent-based coatings.
- Chemical intermediate for the production of epoxides, acid ester derivatives, solvents, and plasticizers.
