EPOXOL® EP193 is a Bio-Base Plasticizer and Coalescent for paints and related applications. It exhibits excellent compatibility with a variety of chemistries, is non-fugitive, and Ultra Low VOC’s. As a coalescent, Epoxol®EP193 has a very high partitioning coefficient and low HLB, providing superior low temperature and low humidity coalescence while maximizing dirt pick-up resistance. As a plasticizer, Epoxol®EP193 is an excellent, non-hazardous alternative to solvents, phthalate, benzoate, and citrate-ester plasticizers applications including coatings, caulks, sealants, and adhesives. It shows good stability and is an affective acid scavenger. Epoxol®EP193 has a high Bio-Based content and is an excellent choice for renewable formulations and low VOC systems.
