GLYCOL ETHERS & ACETATES


a) GLYCOL ETHERS

Glycol Ethers are solvents that can act as both organic as well as inorganic solvents. The unique quality of these solvents is modifiable boiling points and enhancement of mixing properties, which renders them as uniquely versatile solvents for both dissolving as well as binding applications.

Additional applications of Glycol Ethers include use as adhesives, anti-freeze, brake fluid, cleaning products, electronics cleaners, epoxies, floor polishes, metalworking fluids, paints, pastes and varnishes. They possess limitless applications as resin solvents in surface coatings and inks; dye solvents in textile and leather applications and intermediates for production of plasticizers with improved solubility features. Glycol Ethers are completely soluble in acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl ether and methanol.

APL’s products meet stringent international specifications and are marketed under the APSOL, APTOL and APACE series of products.

b) GLYCOL ETHER ACETATES

Glycol Ether Acetates are neutral liquids with weak pleasant odour. They are miscible with common organic solvents, but only partially with water. They are excellent solvents for nitrocellulose, cellulose, ethers, poly-acrylates etc. They are used in brushing lacquers. These solvents are ideal for lacquers where smell is undesirable. Glycol Ether Acetates also find application in specialty paints & coatings segment.
