Polyglykol 200 LVC
Humectant for Pigment Preparations
Edition Date :
December 17, 2021
Polyglykol 200 LVC is a very low-VOC humectant for water-borne pigment preparations with little impact on wet scrub resistance. Polyglykol 200 LVC retards the drying of pigment pastes and forms a soluble film of the pigment preparation. Polyglykol 200 LVC prevents the clogging of the nozzles of tinting systems and metering machines.
Benefits
Polyglykol 200 LVC offers the following advantages:
- little impact on wet scrub resistance at usual charges
- low VOC-content (< 0.2 wt.%)
- hazard label free
- free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO)
- compliant with ecolabel criteria
Product Function
- Humectant
Chemical Type
