Features Of Dow Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Ethylene Glycol Hexyl Ether

  1. High solvency for resins, oils, and cellulose esters with balanced evaporation rate.

  2. Low volatility and favorable odor profile compared to shorter-chain glycol ethers.

  3. Excellent coalescing and leveling performance in waterborne coatings.

  4. Good compatibility with a broad range of polymers and formulation components.

  5. Lower water solubility than ethylene glycol monoethyl or monobutyl ethers—enables improved hydrophobicity control.

Typical Applications Of Dow Hexyl CELLOSOLVE Ethylene Glycol Hexyl Ether

  1. Coalescing agent in acrylic and vinyl acetate-based architectural and industrial waterborne paints.

  2. Solvent in high-solids and low-VOC industrial maintenance coatings.

  3. Carrier solvent for agricultural adjuvants and pesticide formulations.

  4. Component in specialty cleaning formulations for precision metal and electronics degreasing.

  5. Performance additive in inkjet inks requiring controlled drying and substrate wetting.
