Eastman - TEXANOL ester alcohol

Texanol ester alcohol, the premier coalescent for latex paints, provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent. 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
Non-HAP
Non-SARA
Zero VOC under EU 2007 DECO Directive
