Hexyl Glycol
CAS No.: 112-25-4
EC / List no.: 203-951-1
Mol. formula: C8H18O2
Molecular formula: HOCH2CH2O(CH2)5CH3
Hexyl Glycol is a high boiling point, slow evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics.
Hexyl Glycol has the characteristic structure of glycol ethers and contains both ether and alcohol functional groups in the same molecule.
As a result, Hexyl Glycol provides unique cleaning power for removal of both water-soluble and greasy (water insoluble) soils.
The linear hexyl portion of this provides excellent oil solubility characteristics that make Hexylglycol useful in both consumer and industrial cleaner applications.
Hexyl Glycol plays an important role in specialty printing inks.
Because of its limited water solubility and slow evaporation, Hexylglycol can be used in formulations for the silk screen process to prevent premature setting of the ink.
Uses of Hexyl Glycol:
Cosmetics
Cleaners
Textiles
Waterborne coatings
Cleaning
Printing ink
Benefits of Hexyl Glycol:
High boiling point
Slow evaporation rate
Excellent solvency
Great chemical stability
Compatible with water and a number of organic solvents
Waterborne coatings: excellent coalescing solvent for water-borne, latex-based coatings
Cleaning: coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, hard surface cleaners and disinfectants
Cleaning: low vapor pressure allows formulating opportunities to address volatile organic compound (VOC) concerns
Hexyl Glycol is a solvent that can be found in a variety of rust removers, hard surface cleaners and disinfectants.
Printing ink: especially effective in printing ink formulations for the silk-screen process

Hexyl Glycol is mainly used as a solvent, flow promoter and coalescent aid in the coatings industry and in printing inks and cleaners.
Hexyl Glycol is a clear, mobile, high-boiling, low-volatility liquid for use as a solvent, flow promoter and coalescent.
By virtue of its good solvent power, the main applications of Hexyl Glycol are as a solvent, flow promoter and coalescent aid.
For instance, it improves the flow of many baking finish systems.
Added in small proportions to formulations for electrodeposition paints, Hexyl Glycol greatly improves film formation and levelling.
Hexyl Glycol is also eminently suitable as a mild, low-odour co-solvent in low-aromatic mineral spirit blends for dissolving polymer binders.
Hexyl Glycol can also be used in printing inks and cleaners
Properties of Hexyl Glycol:
Hexyl Glycol is a clear, mobile, neutral, slightly hygroscopic liquid with a mild odor.
Hexyl Glycol is miscible with all common solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Its miscibility with water, however, is limited.
Hexyl Glycol enters into the typical reactions of alcohols, e. g. esterification, etherification, oxidation and the formation of alcoholates.
Since Hexyl Glycol may react with the oxygen in the air to form peroxides, ATAMAN supplies it inhibited with 2.6-di-tert-butyl-para-cresol (butylated hydroxytoluene – BHT).
