Core Application Areas

Water-based Coatings and Inks

High-efficiency Film-forming Agent: Adding 2-4% can lower the Minimum Film-forming Temperature (MFT) of acrylic coatings to below 5℃, improving film flexibility and gloss while reducing VOC emissions. Its high boiling point characteristic delays solvent volatilization, ensuring uniform film formation.

Resin Dissolution and Dispersion: Its solvency for alkyd resins and polyurethane resins is superior to glycol ethers, making it suitable as a main solvent for water-based wood coatings, with typical usage of 8-12% of the resin.

Ink Coupling Agent: Improves the dispersion stability of pigments in water-based inks, prevents flocculation, and is suitable for high-demand scenarios such as food packaging inks.

Industrial Cleaning Agents

Low-odor Solvent: Odor threshold is below 0.1 ppm, suitable for formulating non-irritating household cleaning agents (such as glass cleaners and kitchen grease cleaners). It can be used in combination with propylene glycol butyl ether to enhance decontamination effects.

Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a coupling agent in cutting fluids, enhancing the affinity between lubricants and metal surfaces, reducing wear, while inhibiting microbial growth and extending service life.

Electronics and Pharmaceutical Fields

Electronics Cleaning Agents: High-purity products (metal ions < 10 ppm) can remove rosin flux residues from circuit board surfaces, comply with IPC-7510 standards, and are widely used in semiconductor packaging processes.

Pharmaceutical Carrier: As a solvent for topical medications, it can enhance the skin permeability of antimicrobial agents, for example, used as a solvent in 5% dapoxetine gel.
