What is Texanol ester-alcohol (2,2,4-trimethyl-1, 3- pentanediol monoisobutyrate) and why is it used as a coalescing agent?
 
Texanol ester-alcohol (2,2,4-trimethyl-1, 3- pentanediol monoisobutyrate) is an excellent coalescing aid for use in latex emulsion paints. The advantages of Texanol ester-alcohol (2,2,4-trimethyl-1, 3- pentanediol monoisobutyrate) include low water solubility, ease of addition to paint formulations, high coalescing efficiency, low freezing point and very good hydrolytic stability. For solvent coating, the material can be used as a retarder. Texanol ester-alcohol (2,2,4-trimethyl-1, 3- pentanediol monoisobutyrate) is considered the industry’s standard for coalescing aids.
