Butyl CARBITOL™ Acetate Solvent is frequently used as a coalescing solvent in waterborne coatings and provides a good balance of volatility, solvency and water solubility. The ability of this solvent to distribute between the aqueous and polymeric phases contributes to film formation and formulation stability. Butyl CARBITOL Acetate Solvent also promotes color development and touch-up properties to architectural coatings, particularly in conditions of low temperature and high humidity. Its mild, nonresidual odor makes it ideal for use in interior latex coatings.
