Is dowanol DPM a VOC?
DOWANOL™ LoV 485 Glycol Ether is a non-HAPs, P-Series glycol ether ester with <0.5 wt% VOC content by ASTM D6886 which displays excellent coalescing properties with acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl acrylic latex binders.
What is DPM solvent?
DOWANOL DPM glycol ether is a mid-to slow evaporating solvent. This hydrophilic solvent has 100% water solubility and is ideally suited as a coupling agent in a wide range of solvent systems. More broadly, its hydrophilic nature makes it an ideal coupling aid in water reducible coatings, and cleaning applications.
Is dowanol TPM toxic?
Glycol Ether TPM is a colorless, combustible liquid with low toxicity. It has very little odor and is completely soluble in water.
Is propylene glycol volatile?
Compounds with a boiling point of less than 220°C—IPA, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, NMP, benzyl alcohol, and C12—are volatile. The four nonvolatile compounds—soy oil, alkyl alkanolamine, glycerol, and methyl palmitate—have boiling points of 250°C, 283°C, 290°C, and 332°C, respectively.
Is DPM flammable?
Glycol Ether DPM is classified as a combustible liquid under SARA, Title 111, sections 311/312 but is not subject to the reporting requirements of SARA Title III, section 313.
What is butyl carbitol used for?
Butyl carbitol is primarily used as a solvent in coatings, inks, cleaners and specialty fluids. It is also used as a chemical intermediate to produce diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate and some herbicides, insecticides and plasticizers. It is also used in hydraulic brake fluid applications.
Is dowanol DPM hazardous?
No harmful effects expected from quantities likely to be ingested by accident. Skin contact No specific health hazards known. Eye contact Vapour or spray in the eyes may cause irritation and smarting.
What is glycol ether used for?
Glycol ethers have many uses; these include use as solvents and as an ingredient in cleaning compounds, liquid soaps, and cosmetics. Acute (short-term) exposure to high levels of the glycol ethers in humans results in narcosis, pulmonary edema, and severe liver and kidney damage.
