01Overview
Ethylene glycol(EG)
Ethylene glycol (EG) is a versatile coating additive that offers antifreezing properties, extends the open time of paint films, aids in film formation, and acts as a co-solvent to promote the dispersion of additives. The recommended dosage is 2%-8%, which can be added directly during the dispersion stage; it is also miscible with water in any ratio. Note that it is classified as a VOC component, and 1,2-propylene glycol is often used as a substitute in eco-friendly, low-toxicity formulations.
