Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl Alcohol (C₆H₅CH₂OH) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild aromatic scent, commonly used as a solvent in the paint, inks, and coatings industry. Its low volatility, excellent solvency, and compatibility with various resins make it ideal for formulations requiring slow evaporation and extended workability. It enhances flow, film formation, and pigment dispersion in coatings, while being relatively low in toxicity and environmentally safer than many traditional solvents.Chemical Formula: C₆H₅CH₂OH
Chemical Code: 100-51-6 (CAS Number)
Solvent for paints, inks, and surface coatings
Benzyl Alcohol is widely used as a solvent in paints, inks, and surface coatings. Its ability to dissolve a variety of compounds makes it ideal for ensuring smooth application and even consistency.Enhances flow and leveling in high-performance coatings
Benzyl Alcohol enhances flow and leveling in high-performance coatings, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish.Used in epoxy resin formulations as a diluent
Benzyl Alcohol is used in epoxy resin formulations as a reactive diluent. It helps reduce viscosity, making the resin easier to apply and process, while maintaining the strength and durability of the cured product.
