2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediolmono(2-methylpropanoate)(CAS#25265-77-4)
Brief introduction
Alcohol-12 is a chemical also known as dimethicone/PEG-12 dimer. It is obtained by the chemical reaction of polydimethicone and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
Alcohol-12 has the following properties:
It is a colorless or yellowish liquid.
It has good solubility and can be soluble in water and many organic solvents.
It has good stability and high temperature resistance.
It has a certain surfactant ability and can be used as an emulsifier and a good wetting agent.
The method of preparing alcohol-12 is generally obtained by reacting dimethicone and polyethylene glycol under specific conditions. Specific methods include polymerization reactions and esterification reactions.
Safety information: Alcohol ester-12 is generally considered relatively safe and will not cause significant harm to human health when used reasonably. Like all chemicals, safe practices should be followed and excessive use should be avoided. If irritation or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional doctor.
Application
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol mono(2-methylpropanoate) (CAS 25265-77-4), commonly known as Texanol or TMPD monoisobutyrate, is a premium coalescing agent widely used in water-based architectural and industrial coatings. It efficiently lowers the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) of latex polymers, enabling uniform film formation without cracking, even at low ambient temperatures. This ester alcohol is essential for producing high-performance paints, primers, stains, and sealers with excellent scrub resistance, block resistance, and durability. It also functions as a plasticizer for PVC, a solvent for printing inks, and a leveling agent in adhesives. In addition to coatings, it finds application as a coalescent in floor polishes, leather finishes, and textile backcoatings. Its low volatility and high compatibility with various resin systems make it a preferred choice for eco-friendly, low-VOC formulations. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity Texanol with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
