What is DOWANOL DPnB?
DOWANOL™ DPnB is a relatively slow-evaporating solvent which is one of our most efficient coalescents in water-borne latex systems. Effective coalescent for lowering minimum film formation temperature MFFT) in water-borne latex coatings. • Active solvent for solvent-based coatings.
What is DPnB?
Glycol Ether DPNB is a colorless liquid with a mild odor and low volatility. It has low water solubility, good coupling and demonstrates good solvency for coating resins. The properties of DPNB support its use in agricultural, coating, cleaning, ink, textile, and adhesive products.
Is DPnB a voc?
DOWANOL DPnB™ glycol ether solvent has a vapor pressure that qualifies it as an exempt VOC (volatile organic compound) under the California Air Resources Board and U.S. EPA criteria for both consumer and commercial cleaning product applications.
Is dowanol toxic?
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard This product is a “Hazardous Chemical” as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200. Potential Health Effects Eye Contact: May cause severe eye irritation.
What is dowanol TPM?
Product Description. DOWANOL™ TPM glycol ether is a hydrophilic, slow-evaporating glycol ether with. an excellent active solvency and coupling power. DOWANOL™ TPM glycol ether is an ideal choice when high polymer solvency and extended system residence time are required.
What is dowanol PNP?
A fast-evaporating, hydrophobic glycol ether with high solvency, excellent coupling abilities and outstanding soil removal. It is partly water soluble and miscible with most organic solvents.
Is dipropylene glycol a VOC?
Since Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol are volatile compounds and are not listed as exempt, they are, by default VOCs. EPA Method 24 provides a list of ASTM methods that are used to determine VOCs experimentally.
Is glycol ether EB a VOC?
Glycol ethers are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and may be regulated in your area.
What is propylene glycol propyl ether?
Propylene glycol N-propyl ether (PnP) is a colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. It evaporates quickly and is completely soluble (mixes easily) in water. PnP is a propylene oxide-based, or Pseries, glycol ether. PnP is commercially available as a mix of two isomers.
What kind of VOC is Dowanol DPNB glycol ether?
DOWANOL DPnB™ glycol ether solvent has a vapor pressure that qualifies it as an exempt VOC (volatile organic compound) under the California Air Resources Board and U.S. EPA criteria for both consumer and commercial cleaning product applications.
What can Dowanol glycol ether be used for?
While versatility is key, combatibility with multiple resin types is another valued attribute that DOWANOL™ DPnB brings to the table. It can be used alone in cleaning products such as cold metal cleaning to remove oil and greases, or can be paired with other products such as DOWANOL™ DPM glycol ether.
What makes Dowanol a good latex film?
It combines a number of properties that contribute to very high latex film quality: 1) high polymer plasticizing efficiency, 2) large molecular size and therefore greater polymer mobility contribution, 3) strong partitioning to the polymer phase, and 4) relatively slow evaporation rate. This product is compatible with many different resin types.
