SUMMARY
Glycol Ether DPNB is a colorless liquid with a mild odor. Glycol Ether DPNB is used as a solvent/coalescing agent in water-based paints and coatings as a solvent/degreaser in cleaning products, and as a solvent in printing inks, and adhesives for automotive, construction, and packaging applications. Glycol Ether DPNB is also used as a chemical intermediate to produce surfactants and plasticizers.
