JEFFSOL® Propylene Carbonate
JEFFSOL® Propylene Carbonate
JEFFSOL® PROPYLENE CARBONATE is a clear, mobile, hygroscopic liquid at room temperature. It is an excellent solvent for many organic and inorganic materials in such applications as surface cleaners, degreasers, dyes, fibers, plastics, batteries, aromatic hydrocarbons, and natural gas. It also finds use as a gellant for clays and a binder for foundry sand molds, as well as an accelerator in epoxy formulations.
Features & Benefits
- High solvency
- High boiling points
- High flash points
- Low toxicity
- Low evaporation rates
- Low odor
- Readily biodegradable
