Dowanol DB Glycol ether 112-34-5 Dow Chemical Coalescing agents (Glycols) ADHESIVE Diethylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether A slow-evaporating, hydrophilic glycol ether with excellent coalescing and coupling power DOWANOL* DB glycol ether can be considered a slower-evaporating analog of DOWANOL EB glycol ether. It can be used in combination with DOWANOL EB glycol ether to lower the evaporation rate and increase the hydrophobicity of the solvent package. Yet DOWANOL DB glycol ether offers 100% water solubility Coalescent for latex adhesives. DOWANOL polyglycol ethers function as latex coalescing agents and as tackifiers in adhesive formulations. In addition to their strong solvency, DOWANOL polyglycol ethers exhibit low odor, are compatible in water systems, and have evaporation rates slower than water. Powerful solvency Coalescing ability High dilution ratio Low evaporation rate Low viscosity Wide range of applications Low odor, hydrophilic diethylene glycol n-butyl ether with slow-evaporation. Used in latex adhesives as coalescent and tackifier. Exhibits strong solvency, high dilution ratio and low viscosity.
