Texanol

Texanol is the commercial name for 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate, a high-performance coalescent and solvent widely used in latex paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives. It helps film formation at lower temperatures, enhances flow, improves gloss, and increases storage stability. Texanol is prized for its low odor, low volatility, and excellent balance between solvency and environmental compliance, making it a preferred coalescing agent in waterborne systems.
