- Product Features
- Glycol Ether EB is fast-evaporating glycol ether with a nearly equal balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic character. It lowers the surface tension of water, improves penetrating & wetting action and acts as a coupling agent to stabilize immiscible ingredients.
- Glycol Ether EB provides excellent performance in coatings, cleaners, and many other types of products. It is compatible with a wide range of resin types, and it also offers 100% water solubility.
