High electrical resistance.
Paint should have the proper electrical resistance.
Ethyl 3-Etoxy Propionate is a good option to offset the lower electrical resistance of polar solvents – ketones, alcohols – that are used in electrostatics high-solids coatings.
Low surface tension.
Surface tension impacts many coating characteristics such as the leveling of brush marks, cratering, surface wetting and edge pull.
Solvents that have low surface tension improve imperfections thanks to these qualities.
Urethane-grade quality.
Ethyl 3-Etoxy Propionate contains the lowest level of active hydrogen, otherwise unfavorable coatings would be produced.
This happens because of the monomeric side-reaction.
With low active hydrogen, Ethyl 3-Etoxy Propionate has good resistance to moisture and can be used in high performance polyurethane coatings.
