DALPAD™C Coalescent

DALPADTM C is the slowest-evaporating member of the family of DOWANOL glycol ethers. DALPADTM C is a high boiling, colorless solvent with low viscosity and practically no odor. Due to its length and hydrophobic structure, DALPADTM C has a high organic solubility, low water solubility, and a high boiling point.
Its unique properties make it suitable for a number of water-borne resins where a powerful coalescent is needed for proper film formation. Its solvating characteristics combined with low water solubility ensure that DALPADTM C will almost completely partition into the resin phase, thus providing superior coalescence. The extremely low odor of DALPADTM C makes it suitable for indoor decorative paints.

Application

Coalescent for water-borne architectural and industrial coatings.
