The portfolio includes among others wetting and dispersing agents, compatibilizers, stabilizers, neutralizing agents, humectants, silver biocides, emulsifiers and process aids.
Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether (DPGDME) is a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. It is completely miscible with most common organic solvents. However, it has limited solubility in water. DPGDME has no hydroxyl functionality. It is an inert, aprotic solvent and can be used in proton sensitive systems. Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether is not listed as a Hazardous Air Pollutant, has low toxicity, and offers an alternative to solvents being phased out as a result of the Clean Air Act. Due to its chemical stability and the absence of reactive groups, DPGDME can also be used as an inert reaction medium, e. g. for reactions with alkali and alkaline-earth metals (Grignard reactions), polymerizations etc.
Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether is used in solvent-based coatings and water-based polyurethane/ isocyanate coating systems. It is used as environmentally friendly substitute for NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) e.g as as coalescing agent in water based polyurethane dispersion...view more
