Core Application Areas

Waterborne Coatings and Inks

High-efficiency Film-forming Agent: Adding 2-4% can reduce 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; it can serve as the main solvent for waterborne wood coatings, with usage typically at 8-12% of the resin.

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

Industrial Cleaning Agents

Low-odor Odor Solvent: Odor threshold is lower than 0.1 ppm, making it suitable for formulating non-irritating household cleaners (such as glass cleaners and kitchen grease cleaners). It can be compounded with propylene glycol butyl ether to enhance decontamination effects.

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

Electronics and Pharmaceutical Fields

Electronics Cleaners: 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 gels.
