DESCRIPTION
Propyl Cellosolve Solvent is a high solvency glycol ether with excellent coupling and coalescent properties. 
Propyl Cellosolve Solvent is useful in printing and other specialized coatings applications and is a frequent choice for replacement of CELLOSOLVE Solvent. 
Propyl Cellosolve Solvent's fast evaporation, high water solubility and active solvency make Propyl Cellosolve Solvent ideal for a variety of cleaning applications.

Propyl Cellosolve Solvent (Ethylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether) is a colorless, water-miscible solvent providing a slow evaporation rate, good viscosity control in waterborne resins, and high flash point. 
Propyl Cellosolve Solvent has a milder, less detectable odor than most other glycol ethers, enhancing its use in coatings when mild odor is desirable. 

Propyl Cellosolve Solvent is completely water miscible over a wide range of temperatures. 
Also, Propyl Cellosolve Solvent can also be used to develop customized aqueous cleaners.
