Hexyl Glycol is a high boiling point, slow evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl Glycol has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule. 

As a result, Hexyl Glycol 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 Hexylglycol useful in both consumer and industrial cleaner applications. 

Hexyl Glycol plays an important role in specialty printing inks. 
Because of its limited water solubility and slow evaporation, Hexyl Glycol can be used in formulations for the silk screen process to prevent premature setting of the ink.

Hexyl Glycol is a solvent that can be found in a variety of rust removers, hard surface cleaners and disinfectant
Hexyl Glycol is mainly used as a solvent, flow promoter and coalescent aid in the coatings industry and in printing inks and cleaners.
Hexyl Glycol is a clear, mobile, high-boiling, low-volatility liquid for use as a solvent, flow promoter and coalescent.

Benefits of Hexyl Glycol:
-High boiling point
-Slow evaporation rate
-Excellent solvency
-Great chemical stability
-Compatible with water and a number of organic solvents


Hexyl Glycol is a clear, mobile, neutral, slightly hygroscopic liquid with a mild odour. 
Hexyl Glycol is miscible with all common solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones,aldehydes, ethers, glycols and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
