Hexyl Cellosolve Solvent is a high boiling point, slow evaporating rate solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
It has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule.
As a result, it provides unique cleaning power for removal of both water-soluble and greasy (water insoluble) soils.
The linear hexyl portion of Hexyl cellosolve Solvent provides excellent oil solubility characteristics that make it useful in both consumer and industrial cleaner applications.
Hexyl Cellosolve Solvent plays an important role in specialty printing inks.
Because of its limited water solubility and slow evaporation, it can be used in formulations for the silk screen process to prevent premature setting of the ink.
