Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether (PPH), identified by CAS number 770-35-4, is a high-performance, slow-evaporating glycol ether characterized by its hydrophobic nature and high boiling point. Chemical…
Superior Coalescing Efficiency: Drastically reduces the MFFT of acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl acetate resins, ensuring excellent film integrity even in cold conditions.
Low Volatility: A slow evaporation rate ensures prolonged open time and improved flow and leveling during application.
Enhanced Film Properties: Promotes superior gloss, scrub resistance, and color development in decorative and protective coatings.
Hydrolytic Stability: Demonstrates exceptional resistance to hydrolysis, making it compatible with high-pH alkaline cleaning and coating formulations.
Safety Profile: High flash point (~115°C) reduces fire hazards during storage and transport compared to more volatile solvents.
Solubility Dynamics: Limited water solubility (approx. 1.1% by weight at 25°C) but highly miscible with most organic solvents and resins.
Specific Gravity: 1.060 – 1.064 at 20°C.
Surface Tension: Low surface tension (approx. 38 dynes/cm), which aids in wetting substrates and improving pigment dispersion in various industrial fluids.
