Alcohol ether solvent is an oxygen-containing solvent, mainly low-carbon alcohol ethers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. There are both ether bonds and hydroxyl groups in the composition. The former is lipophilic and can dissolve hydrophobic compounds, while the latter is hydrophilic and can dissolve water-soluble compounds. Alcohol ether solvents are used mixed with other solvents in solvent-based paints. Their characteristic is that they can maintain the leveling properties of the coating film after most of the solvents evaporate. Alcohol ether solvents have good miscibility with water and are widely used in water-based coatings as co-solvents and solvents. used in combination.
