Chemoxy International informs us that it has launched a new coalescent solvent which has been formulated to assist the film formation properties of speciality wood coatings, finishes, varnishes and lacquers. The low VOC, low odour solvent is also said to be well suited for use in decorative paints and coatings, adhesives, screen printing inks and leather coatings.
Called Estasol BG, the coalescent solvent is the latest addition to Chemoxy's range of low toxicity solvents. The new high purity solvent is said to be biodegradable, colourless and to have a high flash point of 75úC.
Said to be compatible with a wide range of resins including polyvinylacetate, nitrocellulose and polyvinylbutyrate, Estasol BG is thought to be ideal for formulators looking to production of the "next generation" of quick evaporation, environmentally friendly coating products.
Estasol BG can be supplied by Chemoxy in drums, IBCs or by tanker.
Chemoxy's other major solvent products in the Safer Solvent range include Estasol, CoaSol, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate, ethyl propionate, butyl propionate, isoamyl alcohol and Estasol MD10.
