PPh Glycol Ether possesses powerful solvency, high dilution ratio and low viscosity.

PPH is colorless transparent liquid with a pleasant aromatic sweet odor. 
Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether’s non-toxic and environmentally friendly features to reduce paint VOC effect is remarkable. 
As efficient coalescent various water emulsion and dispersion coatings in gloss and semi-gloss paint is particularly effective.

PPH is nontoxic and environmental and has remarkable impacts on reducing the VOC of the coatings. 
Because of high boiling point, good miscibility, moderate evaporation rate, good coalescing and coupling ability, PPH can provide excellent flow and leveling, luster, film build. 
As a high boiling point solvent and performance additive, PPH can substitute for Isophorone, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol ether.
PPH is widely used in building coatings, top-grade automobile coatings, automobile repair coatings, electrophoresis coatings, shipping and container coatings, furniture coatings. 
Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether is also used as protective agent in printing ink, paint remover, adhesives, insulated materials, cleaning agent, plasticizer; also used as agent for dissolving of textile and dye.

Use:
Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether is colorless transparent liquid with a pleasant aromatic sweet odor. 
Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether’s non-toxic and environmentally friendly features to reduce paint V°C effect is remarkable. 
As efficient coalescent various water emulsion and dispersion coatings in gloss and semi-gloss paint is particularly effective. 
Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether is vinyl acetate, acrylic esters, styrene - strong solvent of various types of acrylate polymer, a water soluble small (less than the water evaporation rate, help swollen particles), to ensure that it is completely absorbed by the latex particles, formed excellent continuous coating film to impart latex coalescence best performance and color development, but also has good storage stability. 
Compared with ordinary film-forming additives such as TEXANOL (homemade alcohol ester is -12), fully formed in the film, the same gloss, fluidity, anti-sagging, color development, under scrub and other conditions, PPH reduce the amount of about 30-50%. 
Strong coalescence capability, integrated deposition efficiency 1.5-2 times, production costs have dropped significantly. 
For most emulsions, PPH added to the emulsion an amount of 3.5-5%, minimum film forming temperature (MFT) of up to -1°C.

Applications 
- Latex coalescent in water-based architectural and industrial coatings.
- Carrier solvent for textile dyes.
- Solvent for inks in ball point and felt tip pens, stamp pads, and textile printing pastes.
- Paint removers.
- Coalescent for latex adhesives.
- Useful in the formulation of homogeneous, stable metalworking fluids.
