Ester Alcohol is a non-VOC, non-HAP, non-SARA, low toxicity, readily bio-degradable premier coalescent and retarder solvent. It can enhance the performance properties of the paint such as low temperature coalescence, touch-up, scrub resistance, wash ability, color development, thermal flexibility and resistance to mud cracking. It provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent and enhanced thickening efficiency when used with associative thickeners. It exhibits excellent hydrolytic stability, low flammability rating, low freezing point and low water solubility. It performs well in all types of latex paints, in a variety of weather conditions, and over substrates with different levels of porosity. It has unique balance of properties which makes it useful for a variety of chemical specialty applications such as ore flotation / frothing, oil-drilling muds, wood preservative carriers and floor polishes. It is recommended for use in coil coatings and high-bake enamels. It is designed for use in auto refinish, automotive, exterior, interior- & non-flat architectural-, protective- & wood coatings and road markings. It can also be used in commercial- & general industrial lithographic printing inks and letter press- & oil-based inks.

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) by ME Global is a low-volatile, low viscous and hygroscopic liquid. Under normal conditions, it has no detectable odor, however, under high vapor concentrations; a slightly sweet odor may be detected. It is completely miscible with water and many organic liquids. Because of its higher molecular weight, it is considerably less volatile than ethylene glycol and differs sufficiently in that it has specialized uses. The reactivity and solubility of diethylene glycol provide the basis for many applications. It augments the capabilities to include applications that require hygroscopicity and lubricants. Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is used in printing inks, paints, pigments and dyes.
