Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Solvent is a high boiling point, slow evaporating rate solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Solvent has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule. As a result, it provides unique cleaning power for removal of both water-soluble and greasy (water insoluble) soils.
A high boiling point, slow evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Solvent has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule. As a result, it provides unique cleaning power for removal of both water-soluble and greasy (water insoluble) soils. The linear hexyl portion of this provides excellent oil solubility characteristics that make it useful in both consumer and industrial cleaner applications.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Solvent plays an important role in specialty printing inks. Because of its limited water solubility and slow evaporation, it can be used in formulations for the silk screen process to prevent premature setting of the ink.
Uses:
-Cosmetics
-Cleaners
-Textiles
-Waterborne coatings
-Cleaning
-Printing ink
Benefits:
-High boiling point
-Slow evaporation rate
-Excellent solvency
-Great chemical stability
-Biodegradable
-Compatible with water and a number of organic solvents
-Waterborne coatings: excellent coalescing solvent for water-borne, latex-based coatings
-Cleaning: coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, hard surface cleaners and disinfectants
-Cleaning: low vapor pressure allows formulating opportunities to address volatile organic compound (VOC) concerns
-Printing ink: especially effective in printing ink formulations for the silk-screen process
