2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediolmono(2-methylpropanoate) is a volatile organic compound (VOC) being useful in paints and printing inks. As coalescent for latex paints, it finds applications in various fields including coatings, nail care, Printing inks, Solvents for cosmetics and personal care, plasticizers. It is also utilized as a coalescing agent to reduce the minimal film forming temperature (MFFT) during latex film preparation. Study using coupled capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS) has confirmed its detection in polypropylene packed food samples1. It is also employed in pharma industry. It may be further used in the prepare carbon nanotube (CNT) paste employed in field emission displays (FED).

2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (TMPD-MIB, texanol), a volatile organic compound (VOC), is an important component found in paints and printing inks. It is utilized as a coalescing agent to reduce the minimal film forming temperature (MFFT) during latex film preparation. Its detection in polypropylene packed food samples has been reported by coupled capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS). The performance of various dispersant affecting the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in texanol has been studied.
