HEXYL CELLOSOLVE

HEXYL CELLOSOLVE

CAS Number: 112-25-4
Molecular Weight: 146.2 g/mol
Chemical Name: Ethylene glycol mono hexyl ether

Hexyl CELLOSOLVE has a high boiling point, slow evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule.
As a result, Hexyl CELLOSOLVE provides unique cleaning power for removal of both water-soluble and greasy (water insoluble) soils.
The linear hexyl portion of this provides excellent oil solubility characteristics that make Hexyl CELLOSOLVE useful in both consumer and industrial cleaner applications.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE plays an important role in specialty printing inks.
Because of Hexyl CELLOSOLVEs limited water solubility and slow evaporation, it can be used in formulations for the silk screen process to prevent premature setting of the ink.

Applications of Hexyl CELLOSOLVE:
• Solvent in specialty printing inks
• Coalescent for water-borne, latex-based coatings
• Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, hard surface cleaners, and disinfectants
• Primary solvent in solvent-based silk screen printing inks

Uses of Hexyl CELLOSOLVE:
-Cosmetics
-Cleaners
-Textiles
-Waterborne coatings
-Cleaning
-Printing ink

Benefits of Hexyl CELLOSOLVE:
-High boiling point

Hexyl CELLOSOLVE used as solvent in specialty printing inks, coalescent for water-borne latex-based coatings, primary solvent in solvent-based silk screen printing inks.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE possesses high boiling point.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE exhibits very good solvency, superior oil solubility, and slow evaporation rate.

Hexyl CARBITOL Solvent is a slow evaporating solvent that partitions primarily into the polymer phase of a waterborne coating and reduces minimum filming temperature.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE can be used with associative thickeners to enhance application properties such as brushability or roll application in high performance coatings.

What are some of the effects of glycol ethers?
Acute (short-term) exposure to high levels of the glycol ethers in humans results in narcosis, pulmonary edema, and severe liver and kidney damage.
Chronic (long-term) exposure to the glycol ethers in humans may result in neurological and blood effects, including fatigue, nausea, tremor, and anemia.

What is hexyl Cellosolve?
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE solvent is a high boiling point, slow evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl CELLOSOLVE may be used to coalesce waterborne latex coatings and to balance solvency and volatility in high solids coatings.

Is glycol ether water soluble?
Glycol ethers are a group of solvents based on alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol commonly used in paints and cleaners.
P-series glycol ethers are marketed as having lower toxicity than the E-series.
Most glycol ethers are water-soluble, biodegradable and only a few are considered toxic.

Is glycol ether a disinfectant?
This wide range of properties means DOW glycol ether products are beneficial in household and industrial hard surface cleaners, floor waxes, carpet cleaners, metal cleaners, disinfectants, germicides, and more.

Is glycol ether an alcohol?
The commercial product Dowanol® DPM Glycol Ether is believed to be a mixture of these but to consist to a very large extent of the isomer in which the alkyl group has replaced the hydrogen of the primary hydroxyl group of the dipropylene glycol, which is a secondary alcohol.
