Glycol Ether PNB

The Whitaker Company > Products > Glycol Ether PNB

SUMMARY

Glycol Ether PNB is a clear colorless liquid. Glycol Ether PNB acts as a coalescent in waterborne latex paints, enhancing touch, color development, and gloss. Glycol Ether PNB is used in industrial cleaning to break down and dissolve tough grime, oils, and greases, in the printing ink industry for its unique balance of drying properties and solubility, and in metalworking fluids to provide lubrication and prevent rust. Glycol Ether PNB is a valuable solvent in cosmetic formulations in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
