Eastman Texanol™ ester alcohol, the premier coalescent for latex paints, provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent. Eastman Texanol™ is suitable for all types of latex paints and maintains good performance regardless of varying: weather conditions and substrate porosity

Key Attributes:

Efficient: Low coalescent level required to obtain good film integrity, good touch-up properties, and good scrub resistance.
Versatile: Effective with most latex polymers.
Ease of use: Low risk of shocking paints and safe to use in manufacturing.
Excellent hydrolytic stability: Chemically stable in low to high pH latex coatings.
Low water solubility: Maximizes coalescence regardless of weather or substrate porosity.
Low freezing point
Low flammability rating
