Usage: 

• It is mainly used in latex water-dispersed coatings in the coating industry.Because the HLB value of this solvent is close to 9.0, its function in the dispersion system plays the role of dispersant/emulsifier/rheological agent/cosolvent.
• Improve the drying speed, flatness, brightness, and adhesion fastness of water-dispersed coatings. Due to its tert-butyl structure, it has high photochemical stability and safety. The water-dispersed paint made with this solvent has good storage stability, especially under low temperature conditions in winter.
