<I>EASTMAN</I> n-Butyl Propionate Propanoic acid,butyl ester 590-01-2 Eastman Chemical Company Solvent >> Alcohol >> Butyl Coatings Inks INKS Automotive OEM water/alcohol/ether Eastman n-Butyl Propionate is a non-HAP, slow evaporating, urethane grade solvent with good solvency for most coating resins. In lacquers and ambient cure enamels, this solvent could be used as a retarder solvent. Its slow evaporation rate allows for flow and leveling but does not prevent the quick rubbing and sanding of the lacquer. Many resins are letdown in a solvent thinning tank to make handling, storing, and shipping easier. Eastman n-Butyl Propionate could be used as letdown solvent because of its low volatility, good solvent activity, urethane grade quality, and high electrical resistance. Since n-Butyl Propionate is not on EPA's HAP list, it could be used as a replacement for xylene in coating applications such as high-solids thermoset enamels, processing solvent for high-solids acrylic resins, and coatings applied via electrostatic spray equipment. It shows good solvent activity ,low MIR value ,low water solubility ,Non-HAP ,urethane grade: Suitable for use with moisture-sensitive polymers ,high electrical resistance ,low surface tension ,mild odor ,slow evaporation rate. It is used as cleaners ,EXXATE 600 replacement blends ,process solvent or high-solids acrylic resins ,coatings - OEM and Special Purpose ,printing inks ,Xylene replacement blends.
