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.

CARBITOL SOLVENT LOW GRAVITY - DOW is an important solvent in non-grain-raising wood stains and serves as a component of industrial cleaners. Textile printing and dyeing processes utilize to facilitate penetration into fibers and to promote the production of intense, bright shades. These characteristics, along with its high boiling point and low vapor pressure, make it useful for twist setting and yarn and cloth conditioning. Mineral oil-soap and mineral oil-sulfonated oil mixtures require fast-acting mutual solvents. Small quantities of in these mixtures form translucent-to-clear dispersions, in contrast to the usual turbid dispersion that indicates incomplete solubility.
