Origin

China

DPNB is produced through the reaction of propylene oxide with n-butanol, resulting in a mixture of isomers. The product carries HS code 2909499090 for international trade classification. TICHEM supplies DPNB at a minimum purity of 99% under industrial grade specifications.

The product exhibits slow evaporation kinetics measured at less than 0.01 relative to n-butyl acetate. Its hydrophobic nature differentiates it from water-soluble glycol ethers, making it suitable for formulations requiring water resistance. The surface tension measures 28.8 mN/m at 1000 mg/L concentration, which supports wetting performance in coating systems. DPNB demonstrates compatibility with multiple resin types including acrylics, styrene-acrylics, and vinyl-acrylic latex systems.

DPNB Industrial Applications

Coatings and Paints Industry

DPNB functions as a coalescent in water-borne latex coatings, where it lowers the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT). The product contributes to film formation through four mechanisms: polymer plasticizing efficiency, molecular size contribution to polymer mobility, partitioning behavior toward the polymer phase, and controlled evaporation rate. Commercial users in architectural and industrial coating formulations incorporate DPNB to improve film integrity and gloss retention.

Cleaning Solutions

As a coupling agent and solvent, DPNB appears in household and industrial cleaner formulations including grease removers, paint strippers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners. Its solvency for oils and greases supports degreasing applications in manufacturing maintenance operations.

Other Commercial Uses

In solvent-based coatings, DPNB serves as an active solvent contributing to viscosity control and flow properties. The chemical also functions as an intermediate for producing epoxides, acid ester derivatives, and plasticizers. Water-reducible coating systems utilize DPNB as a co-solvent that enhances formulation stability.

DPNB Packaging and Supply Chain

Available Packaging Options

TICHEM delivers DPNB in three packaging configurations: iron drums for standard pallet shipments, intermediate bulk containers (IBC) for medium-volume orders, and ISO tank containers for bulk commercial procurement. The MOQ is set at 1 ton for initial trial orders.

Logistics and Trade Information

The product ships under HS code 2909499090. TICHEM maintains warehouse inventory to support lead times of 3-7 working days for stock items. Custom labeling and documentation services are available for enterprise customers requiring specific compliance formats.

DPNB Quality Assurance

TICHEM operates quality control procedures aligned with ISO 9001 management standards. Each batch undergoes GC analysis for purity verification, moisture content testing, and appearance inspection before release. Certificates of Analysis (COA) accompany every shipment upon request. The production facility maintains annual output capacity exceeding 10,000 metric tons across the glycol ether product line.
