Ethylene Glycol Monohexyl Ether (EGH), also frequently identified by the trade name Hexyl Cellosolve (CAS: 112-25-4), is a high-performance, slow-evaporating solvent belonging to the ethylene glyco…
Superior Solvency: Exhibits powerful dissolving capabilities for hydrophobic materials, including greases, oils, waxes, and complex resins.
Slow Evaporation Rate: Provides extended “open time” in coatings, significantly improving flow and leveling while preventing surface defects like pinholing.
High Coalescing Efficiency: Effectively reduces the Minimum Film Forming Temperature (MFFT) of polymer dispersions, ensuring a smooth, continuous film.
Surface Tension Reduction: Acts as a powerful wetting agent, improving the penetration of cleaners and the adhesion of coatings on contaminated substrates.
Phase Stabilization: Functions as a robust coupling agent to stabilize immiscible aqueous and organic phases in concentrated liquid formulations.
Safety Profile: Offers a high flash point and low volatility, enhancing workplace safety compared to more volatile solvents.
