How Specialty Solvents (DPM, DIBK, Benzyl Alcohol) Reduce Defects and Costs
Solvents are used to dissolve resins, adjust viscosity, and control drying in paints, inks, and cleaners. The choice of solvent directly impacts product performance, VOC levels, and cost.
Common Challenges in Manufacturing:
- Poor flow and leveling → surface defects (orange peel, pinholes).
- High VOC solvents → environmental compliance issues.
- Solubility issues → pigment settling or resin incompatibility.
Specialty Solvent Solutions:
- DPM (Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether): High solvency, excellent for water-based systems, low odor.
- DIBK (Diisobutyl Ketone): Slow evaporation, improves flow and leveling in coatings.
- Benzyl Alcohol: Excellent solvent for epoxy and resins, also used as preservative in personal care.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces surface defects → fewer rejects, lower cost
- Improves pigment dispersion and resin compatibility
- Balances drying speed for smooth finishes
- Lower VOC options available for eco-compliance
