Features Of Dow Diethylene Glycol Hexyl Ether Hexyl CARBITOL Solvent

  1. High solvency power for resins, dyes, and hydrophobic polymers due to balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic character.

  2. Low volatility and high boiling point (≈275–285 °C), enabling extended open time in coatings and inks.

  3. Excellent water-miscibility and coalescing ability, supporting stable aqueous formulations without phase separation.

  4. Low toxicity profile and favorable occupational exposure limits compared to many aromatic or chlorinated solvents.

  5. Good compatibility with acrylics, alkyds, cellulose esters, and epoxy resins across diverse formulation systems.

Typical Applications Of Dow Diethylene Glycol Hexyl Ether Hexyl CARBITOL Solvent

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne coatings, including interior/exterior paints and primers.

  2. High-performance inks for flexographic and gravure printing on porous and non-porous substrates.

  3. Industrial cleaning formulations for precision degreasing of metal and electronic components.

  4. Agrochemical adjuvants and pesticide suspension concentrates requiring enhanced active ingredient dispersion.

  5. Specialty adhesives and sealants where controlled evaporation rate and film integrity are critical.
