Description

Diethyleneglycolmonohexylether (CAS NO 61463-78-3) is a high-purity glycol ether solvent valued for its balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties and excellent solvency power. This compound is essential for formulators seeking a versatile, medium-evaporation-rate solvent with good coupling ability for a wide range of resins and active ingredients. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers in the coatings, cleaning, and agrochemical sectors, where performance and consistency are paramount.

Application

• Coatings & Inks: Acts as a coalescing agent and solvent in water-based architectural paints, industrial coatings, and printing inks to improve film formation and flow properties.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used as a coupling solvent in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and floor strippers to enhance the solubility of surfactants and oily soils.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component in pesticide and herbicide emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) and soluble concentrates (SLs) to improve the stability and efficacy of active ingredients.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a coupling agent and humectant in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants and lubricants.
• Chemical Processing: Functions as a reaction medium or extraction solvent in various organic synthesis and purification processes.
• Personal Care & Household Products: Employed in select formulations as a solvent and carrier for fragrances and other functional ingredients.
