TPNB (Tripropylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether) is a glycol ether belonging to the propylene oxide-based solvent family. It has a high boiling point, excellent coupling ability, and low surface tension, making it ideal for dissolving both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances.
Chemical Properties:
CAS Number: 55934-93-5
Molecular Formula: C13H28O4
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Boiling Point: Approx. 280°C
Solubility: Miscible with water and many organic solvents
TPNB is valued for its performance in several industries, especially in:
Acts as a coalescing agent in water-based paints
Improves film formation, flow, and leveling
Enhances gloss and durability
Serves as an auxiliary solvent in leather dyeing and finishing
Enhances penetration and dispersion of colorants
Provides a soft touch and improves surface finish
Used as a coupling agent in textile printing pastes
Improves drying and ink adhesion on synthetic fibers
Excellent solvency for oily and greasy contaminants
Low odor makes it ideal for indoor applications
Low volatility and slow evaporation reduce health and safety risks
Environmentally friendlier compared to traditional solvents
Non-corrosive and low toxicity profile
High compatibility with waterborne systems
Enhances product performance in eco-label compliant formulations
