Applications

1,3 Butylene Glycol is used for the production of unsaturated polyester resins. Resins for polyurethane, plasticisers' Alkyd resin paints and solvents of high boiling point.

Applications

3-Methoxybutanol is used as a solvent or co-solvent in coatings, inks and adhesives. For instance, it is used in nitrocellulose brush lacquers to improve brush ability and flow, and in alkyd paints to improve brush ability.

Applications

Biobased Butanol is widely used as a solvent in paints & coatings, as it prevents the blushing of certain coating films when they dry under humid conditions. It improves the flow and gloss as well as resistance to blushing in cellulose lacquers. BiobasedButanol reduces the viscosity of the paints and improves the quality, even when added in small proportions

Applications

Among organic solvents, ethyl acetate is regarded as being one of those with the least environmental impact. It is both highly effective and at the same time easily broken down in both air and water. It is also used in paints as an activator or hardener.

Applications

"Ethyl Lactate is an excellent ingredient for formulating printing inks, coatings, resin cleaners, paint strippers, graffiti removers, ink cleaners, etc. Ethyl lactate alone and is an ideal wipe solvent.
