SOLVENT : HEXASOL ( The Safe alternative to Glycol Ethers )

HEXASOL ?



For many years, glycol ethers have been used as coupling agents or additives in aqueous formulations. But in the 80's and 90's, following toxicological studies, some of them have been classified CMR (Carcinogenic Mutagenic Reprotoxic) and banned in many industries.


Hexasol™ is a clear and water-white oxygenated solvent that demonstrates outstanding solvency: it is miscible in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons as well as in polar substances such as water, alcohols and fatty acids.


This makes Hexasol™ a versatile coupling agent and a real safe alternative to the most harmful glycol ethers.


With its excellent toxicity and ecotoxicity profiles and properties similar to most glycol ethers one's, Hexasol™ is a powerful alternative to glycol ethers:



Appplications :



1. Household and Industrial cleaners

Hexasol™ has a very low surface tension: adding it in a cleaner is a way to improve its wetting

properties, to help the penetration of the soil and to keep it suspended in water until the

rinsing step. Moreover, Hexasol™ is an excellent coupling agent.



2. Cosmetics, Fragrances and Personal Care

Hexasol™'s high solvent power and coupling properties make it a very efficient additive to

stabilize cosmetic and toiletry formulations. Active products remain suspended and available

instead of settling.
Moreover, the shelf life and appearance of formulations containing Hexasol™ will be

improved.

Main Properties of Hexasol are :

> Low Surface Tension

> Low Viscosity

> Low Volatility

> Low Flammability

> High Solubility in water

> High Compatibility with polar and non polar solvents

> High Solvent Power

> Hexasol is not a VOC.
