DBE-IB Mixture of refined diisobutyl succinate, glutarate and adipate DuPont Film forming /coalescing agents Solvent >> Esters Inks >> Solvent-based Coatings >> Solvent-Free/ High-Solids Coatings >> Waterborne Printing Inks & Varnishes Slightly miscible in water Miscible in most organic solvents DuPont DBE-IB is a high-boiling, oxygenated solvent comprising a refined mixture of diisobutyl adipate, glutarate, and succinate. Its properties include low vapor pressure, very low toxicity, biodegradability, excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability, ability to dissolve many resins, miscibility with most organic solvents, and very low odor. Waterborne coatings coalescing aid low odor extends open time better abrasion resistance Solvent coatings excellent tail solvent improves leveling and pinhole resistance low toxicity Printing ink solvent High-boiling, oxygenated solvent comprising a refined mixture of diisobutyl adipate, glutarate, and succinate. Used as a solvent and coalescent aid in waterborne and solventborne coatings and solvent-based printing inks. Offers low vapor pressure, very low toxicity, biodegradability, very good thermal and hydrolytic stability, ability to dissolve many resins and very low odor. Extends open time. Gives good abrasion resistance and low toxicity. Improves leveling and pinhole resistance.
