DOWANOL DPnP Dipropylene glycol n-propyl ether 29911-27-1 Dow Chemical Film forming /coalescing agents Solvent >> Glycols & glycol ether >> Propylene Glycol Coatings >> Solventborne Coatings >> Waterborne Soluble in water DOWANOL* DPnP glycol ether has a slower evaporation rate than DOWANOL PnP glycol ether, and it is slightly more hydrophobic. Yet overall, DOWANOL DPnP glycol ether has a near-midrange balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic character, and it offers significant water solubility. This product is a good choice in coatings; it offers very good coalescing performance in blends with more hydrophobic materials such as DOWANOL PPh or PnB glycol ethers. DOWANOL DPnP glycol ether can also be blended with other materials to replace Butyl CELLOSOLVE™ glycol ether (formerly known as DOWANOL EB glycol ether). It is colorless, low odor, moderately soluble in water (19 ml/100 ml, good chemical stability, excellent solvent properties, very efficient surface tension reduction, low toxicity, wide range of applications. It is used as coalescent for water-borne latex coatings, active solvent for solvent-borne coatings. Dipropylene glycol n-propyl ether. Used as latex coatings. Offers good chemical stability. Exhibits very good solvent properties. Imparts very efficient surface tension reduction.
