Methyl Carbitol

A very hydrophilic, moderate evaporating glycol ether. Offers both excellent solvency and low volatility. The product's mild odor and ability to improve dye penetration make it attractive for non-grain-raising wood stains, spirit-type dyes and textile dye pastes. Suitable for dyes, oils, fats, waxes and resins. It is also a coalescing aid for polyvinyl acetate latexes.
