PEG SOLVENT R150

Description

PEG Solvent 150 is a clear, colorless liquid known for its high aromatic content and relatively low volatility. Its high flash point makes it an ideal choice as a solvent carrier across various industrial applications, providing stability and efficiency in environments where safety and high performance are paramount.

Common Applications of PEG Solvent R150

  1. Printing Inks:
    • Screen and Lithographic Printing: PEG Solvent R150 is widely used in the production of screen and lithographic printing inks due to its consistent performance as a solvent.
  2. Insecticides:
    • Solvent Carrier in Formulations: PEG Solvent R150 serves as a carrier solvent in the manufacture of insecticides, facilitating the uniform distribution of active ingredients.
  3. Paints and Resins:
    • High-Gloss Enamels: PEG Solvent 150 acts as a high-power retarder, slowing the drying process to promote secondary flow in high-gloss baking enamels and similar products, delivering a smooth, glass-like finish.
    • Force-Dried Paints and Chlorinated Rubber Coatings: The solvent’s slow evaporation rate enables even leveling of resin components, making it ideal for force-dried paints and solvent carriers in specialized coatings, including chlorinated rubber and swimming pool paints.
  4. Miscellaneous Industrial Uses:
    • Bulk Solvent Supply: As a trusted supplier in New Zealand, we offer bulk quantities of PEG Solvent 150 to meet industrial needs, ensuring reliable and high-quality solvent solutions for a range of applications.

For detailed safety information, industrial customers are encouraged to download and review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided below. Proper handling ensures safe and effective use of PEG Solvent 150 across all applications.

Applications & Uses

PEG Solvent R150 is a polyethylene glycol-based solvent with excellent solvency, dispersing, and emulsifying properties. It is widely used in industrial, pharmaceutical, and chemical formulations due to its stability, low volatility, and high solubility in water and organic solvents.

  • Paints & Coatings: Acts as a solvent and coalescing agent in water-based and solvent-based paints, varnishes, and lacquers, improving flow, film formation, and adhesion.
  • Printing Inks: Used in ink formulations for better dispersion of pigments and smoother printing quality, reducing clogging in inkjet and industrial printing.
  • Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances bonding properties and improves the viscosity of adhesives and sealants for packaging, construction, and automotive applications.
  • Pharmaceutical & Personal Care Products: Functions as a carrier in creams, lotions, and topical ointments, as well as an excipient in drug formulations.
  • Industrial Cleaning Agents: Used in degreasers, surface cleaners, and heavy-duty industrial detergents due to its ability to dissolve oils, greases, and contaminants.
  • Agricultural Chemicals: Serves as a carrier and dispersant for pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, ensuring better absorption and effectiveness.
  • Textile & Leather Industry: Used in dyeing and finishing processes to improve dye penetration and color fastness in fabrics and leather.
  • Plastics & Polymers: Acts as a processing aid in the production of resins, plasticizers, and composite materials.
  • Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a lubricant additive for enhanced viscosity control and improved performance in machining and metal processing.
