Peg Solvent R100 is a clear, colourless, aromatic solvent liquid with moderate evaporation properties, making it versatile for various industrial applications. With C9 hydrocarbons as its primary components, Peg Solvent 100 offers high solvency strength, efficiently dissolving and blending other chemicals. Its volatility is similar to Mineral Turpentine (Petropine), but with a relatively narrow boiling range, ensuring controlled, effective evaporation. These qualities make it suitable for applications needing strong solvency and controlled drying rates.

Peg Solvent R100: Common Uses

1. Paint and Resin Manufacturing
   Peg Solvent R100 is widely used in producing surface coatings where moderate evaporation and high solvency are crucial. Due to its balanced drying rate, it is ideal in paints, lacquers, and varnishes, especially in formulations requiring an aromatic tail that evaporates more gradually. Peg Solvent 100 can serve as both a solvent and a diluent in high-solid content coatings, providing enhanced film thickness with fewer coats. It is particularly beneficial in stoving enamels used in automotive and metal industries, helping create durable, high-gloss finishes.
2. Cleaning Solvent
   Peg Solvent R100 is valued as a cost-effective source of aromatics in cleaning formulations. Its strong solvency helps dissolve grease, oils, and other residues, making it suitable for heavy-duty cleaning in industrial settings.
3. Insecticides and Herbicides
   This solvent acts as a base in the formulation of herbicides and insecticides, effectively dispersing active ingredients for consistent application across surfaces.
