⯈ DEFINITION OF PHENOXYPROPANOL:
Propylene glycol-1-phenylether is a chiral chemical compound from the group of glycol ethers .
Phenoxypropanol is a yellowish, hydrophobic liquid.
When propylene glycol-1-phenylether is mentioned in this article or in the scientific literature without a prefix , the 1: 1 mixture (racemate) of ( R ) -propylene glycol-1-phenylether and ( S ) -propylene glycol-1 is meant phenyl ether.
Propylene glycol 1-phenyl ether is obtained by reacting propylene oxide and phenol.
Phenoxypropanol or 2-phenoxypropanol is a clear, colourless and odourless liquid with 20 APHA Max and a pH value of 7 to 8 approximately.
Phenoxypropanol has a shelf life of almost 2 years.
1-Phenoxy-2-propanol (PP), a gycol ether, can be synthesized by reacting propylene oxide with phenol in the presence of Al2O3-MgO/Fe3O4 catalyst.
Phenoxypropanol is nontoxic and environmental and has remarkable impacts on reducing the VOC of the coatings.
Phenoxypropanol is a strong solvent for alkyd resin, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, etc.
Phenoxypropanol can provide excellent flow and leveling, luster, while helping prevent coating defects such as pinholing, orange peel, cracking and popping because of its high boiling point, good miscibility, moderate evaporation rate, good coalescing and coupling ability.
On the same condition, such as luster, fluidity, color-folding properties, cleaning resistance, etc., the usage of PPh is decreased to 30~50% as compared with common film-forming auxiliaries.
Because of excellent coalescing ability, Phenoxypropanol can make the comprehensive film-forming efficiency increase 1.5~2 fold and remarkably reduce the production cost, Phenoxypropanol is added 3.5~5% in most of emulsions and minimum film-forming temperature (MMFT) can reach to -1.
Phenoxypropanol can substitute for Isophorone, anone, dibasic ester, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol ether, other propylene glycol ether, etc.

⯈ USES/BENEFITS OF PHENOXYPROPANOL:
Propylene glycol 1-phenyl ether is used as a solvent and paint ( coalescing agent ).
High-boiling solvent, bactericidal agent, fixa- tive for soaps and perfumes, intermediate for plas- ticizers.
Propylene glycol phenyl ether is a slow evaporating, very hydrophobic glycol ether — more hydrophobic than would be expected based simply on its molecular weight.
Propylene glycol phenyl ether is an excellent match for phenolic coatings and linings
Propylene glycol phenyl ether is also an excellent coalescent for acrylic-based latexes.
Propylene glycol phenyl ether is also used extensively in dyeing applications, where
Propylene glycol phenyl ether can function as both a dye solubilizer and as a dye carrier.
Propylene glycol phenyl ether has superior viscosity reduction properties in metalworking fluids.
