PROGLYDE DMM - DOW is a unique propylene oxide-based solvent that is aprotic, lacking hydroxyl functionality. This makes it relatively inert and suitable for proton-sensitive systems, such as water-based polyurethane coatings. It can also be used as an azeotroping solvent for esterification reactions. With excellent stability, solvency, and coupling performance, offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of agricultural formulations and cleaning products.

GLYCOL ETHER EB - LYONDELL also known as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, is a solvent used in hard surface cleansers for both household and commercial use. It is an eco-friendly option for cleaning formulations due to its biodegradable qualities. This liquid solvent is included in several global chemical inventories, such as ENCS (Japan) and AICS (Australia). To fulfill regulatory criteria and provide excellent cleaning performance, consider including butyl glycol ether into your formulations.

DOWANOL TPM GLYCOL ETHER - DOW is a hydrophilic, slow-evaporating glycol ether with an excellent active solvency and coupling power. This is an ideal choice when high polymer solvency and extended system residence time are required. It can maintain rheological properties over time in products such as stamp pads and ball point pen inks. Its high boiling and flash points make it an excellent choice for use in oven cleaners, and as a tailing solvent in high-solids, solvent-based coatings.

METHYL ACETATE - EASTMAN is a fast evaporating, mild odor, active solvent that can be used with a broad range of coating and ink resins. Because of its fast evaporation rate, this product is useful as the fast-evaporating component in high-low solvent systems and in other applications where fast solvent release and quick dry-to-touch time are needed. It is an active solvent for the following resins: cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, vinyl copolymers, acrylics, epoxies, polyamides, phenolics, alkyds, and polyesters. Compared with other fast evaporating solvents, methyl acetate gives solution viscosity somewhat higher than acetone or MEK but lower than ethyl acetate. Where a mild odor, fast evaporating solvent is required, this product is a very good choice for formulators of coating and ink products. It is a VOC-exempt, non-HAP, non-ODS, readily biodegradable solvent that can be used in blends to develop environmentally friendly cleaners.

ETHYL ACETATE URETHANE GRADE - EASTMAN urethane grade ethyl acetate serves as a solvent and is appropriate for use in CASE applications, which include coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. This chemical is dependable and versatile, having received regulatory approvals in the USA, Japan, and Canada, among other nations. It is recognized as ethyl acetate and has a liquid physical shape and translucent hue.

BENZYL ACETATE is a liquid product renowned for its sweet, flowery, and fruity aroma notes, reminiscent of jasmine. It adds depth and richness to fragrances. With its ethanol solubility, seamlessly blends into various formulations, enhancing their scent profiles.

ETHYL ACETO ACETATE - EASTMAN is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, existing as approximately 8% enol and 92% keto at room temperature. It is soluble in water and common organic solvents and is used as a low color-generating copromoter for unsaturated polyester resins.

DOWANOL DPMA GLYCOL ETHER ACETATE - DOW glycol ether stands as a remarkable alternative to DOWANOL DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL METHYL ETHER ACETATE, boasting similar properties while offering distinct advantages. Notably, it features a slower evaporation rate and a lower flammability rating, classified as Class III combustible for ease of handling, storage, and transportation. As one of the lowest viscosity members within the Dowanolâ„¢ glycol ethers family, contains an acetate group capping its molecule, reducing polarity and solvent viscosity. This feature, coupled with the elimination of reactive hydrogen, renders it an excellent solvent choice for urethanes and other proton-sensitive systems. Moreover, glycol ether exhibits outstanding active solvency across a wide spectrum of resin types, including acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, and more, making it a versatile solution for various applications.

DOWANOL DPNB GLYCOL ETHER - DOW is a slow-evaporating, hydrophobic solvent with excellent surface tension-lowering ability and coalescing properties. It is highly efficient in water-borne latex systems, contributing to high latex film quality due to its polymer plasticizing efficiency, large molecular size, strong partitioning to the polymer phase, and relatively slow evaporation rate. Compatible with many resin types, also excels in cleaning applications, either alone or when blended with other products like DOWANOLâ„¢ DPM glycol ether, making it effective for removing oils and greases in cold metal cleaning.
