DPnP glycol ether has a slower evaporation rate than DOWANOL PnP glycol ether, and it is slightly more hydrophobic. Yet overall, DOWANOL DPnP glycol ether has a near-midrange balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic character, and it offers significant water solubility. This product is a good choice in coatings; it offers very good coalescing performance in blends with more hydrophobic materials such as DOWANOL PPh or PnB glycol ethers. DOWANOL DPnP glycol ether can also be blended with other materials to replace Butyl CELLOSOLVE glycol ether (formerly known as DOWANOL EB glycol ether)
