Phenoxypropanol
Synonym(s): Propylene glycol phenyl ether, 1-phenoxy-2-propanol, Propylene phenoxetol
CAS No.: 770-35-4
Product Introduction
Phenoxypropanol is slow-evaporating, very hydrophobic glycol ether ideal in coalescing and carrier solvent applications. It is more hydrophobic than would be expected based simply on its molecular weight. This product is an excellent match for phenolic coatings and linings;it is also an excellent coalescent for acrylic-based latexes.
It is also used extensively in dyeing applications, where it can function as both a dye solubilizer and as a dye carrier. KL-PPH has superior viscosity reduction properties in metalworking fluids. It has the benefits as follow:
1. Coalescing ability.
2. Powerful solvency.
3. High dilution ratio.
4. Low viscosity.
5. Storage stability.
Application
1.Latex coalescent in water-based architectural and industrial coatings.
2.Carrier solvent for textile dyes.
3.Paint removers.
4.Coalescent for latex adhesive.
5. Useful in the formulation of homogeneous,stable metalworking fluids.

Dosage
It is recommended that Phenoxypropanol is added before emulsion or when pigments are ground, so that it can easily couple with other substances in the formulation, and achieve better emulsifing and dispersing effect, while having no effects on the stability of pigments,etc.
Phenoxypropanol is added 3.5~6% in purified acrylic ester photo-polymer emulsions, 2.5~4.5% in vinyl acetate-acrylic ester emulsions, 2~4% in styrene-acrylic ester copolymer emulsions.
