Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Hexylene Glycol is colourless liquid, soluble in water and common organic solvents. It is used as a solvent in paint, coatings, varnish, lacquer, inks, paint strippers and related products. It is a potential substitute for glycol ethers. It exhibits both surfactant and emulsion-stabilizing properties. Its relatively high viscosity and low volatility are advantageous in coatings, cleansers, cosmetics, solvents, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids.
