What are the uses of propylene glycol phenyl ether？

 Propylene glycol phenyl ether (PPH, phenoxypropanol) is an organic compound with excellent solubility and stability, playing an important role in many industrial fields such as coatings, textiles, printing, and dyeing. 

Uses of Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether

Due to its excellent solubility, miscibility, and low toxicity, propylene glycol phenyl ether (PPH) is widely used in multiple fields, with specific applications as follows:

I. Coatings Industry

  1. Premium Automotive Coatings and Refinish Coatings: PPH serves as a co-solvent in these coatings, enhancing their properties such as gloss, adhesion, and durability.
  2. Electrophoretic Coatings: In electrophoretic coatings, PPH also acts as a co-solvent, facilitating uniform deposition and curing of the coatings.
  3. Architectural Coatings: As an efficient film-forming aid, PPH significantly improves the coalescence, color uniformity, and storage stability of coatings. Additionally, it effectively reduces the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) value of coatings, meeting environmental protection requirements.
  4. Marine Coatings, Container Coatings, and Wood Coatings: PPH is also widely used in these fields, enhancing the adhesion and durability of coatings.

II. Inks and Paint Strippers

PPH can be used as a solvent in inks and as a component in paint strippers, aiding in the uniform printing of inks and efficient stripping of paint.

III. Adhesives Industry

In adhesives, PPH serves as a modifying aid, improving the adhesion and stability of adhesives.

IV. Other Fields

  1. Insulating Materials: PPH can be used as a solvent or modifier in insulating materials, enhancing their insulating properties.
  2. Cleaning Agents: In cleaning agents, PPH acts as a solvent, aiding in the removal of stains and grease.
  3. Textile Printing and Dyeing: PPH serves as an environmentally friendly carrier solvent in textile printing and dyeing, facilitating uniform dispersion and fixation of dyes.
  4. Plasticizers: PPH can also be used as a plasticizer, improving the flexibility and ductility of plastic products.


In summary, due to its unique physicochemical properties and wide range of applications, propylene glycol phenyl ether plays an important role in industrial production. At the same time, its low toxicity and environmental friendliness align with modern industry's requirements for green production.

Air-cooled Xenon Lamp Aging Tester

  The air-cooled xenon lamp aging tester is a device that uses an air-cooled system to dissipate heat and a xenon lamp to simulate ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light in natural sunlight to perform accelerated aging tests on materials. It is commonly used in industries such as automobiles, coatings, plastics, rubber, and textiles. It can evaluate the aging resistance of materials under the combined effects of long-term light, temperature, humidity and other environmental factors in a relatively short period of time, helping companies improve product quality, extend service life, and optimize product anti-aging formulas and processes. Structural composition:  The main body is a test chamber, equipped with a xenon lamp and a matching optical filter system to simulate sunlight of different wavelengths, as well as temperature, humidity, lighting time and other control and adjustment devices, as well as an observation window and a sample rack. Working principle: The...

The Structure of Hexapod Tumble Tester

The Hexapod Tumbler Tester is a popular apparatus used in the evaluation of the appearance retention of carpets. Drum – constructed of Nylon or other like material and capped by a lid that is secured by a latching device. The drum and lid have a locating groove to hold the specimen backing sheet flat to the inner wall of the drum. A photograph of a typical drum is show in Photograph 1 and Photograph 2. The drum dimensions are:   Internal Diameter: 12 ± 0.18 in. (302 ± 5mm) Wall Thickness :0.3 in. approx. (8 mm approx.) Internal Depth: 8.2 ± 0.2 in. (207 ± 5 mm)  Driving System - cradles the drum on rollers and keeps the axis of the drum level, and rotates the drum at 35 ± 2 rpm (3.6 ± 0.2 rad/s). The driving direction reverses after approximately 500 revolutions.  After the 500 rotations the unit will stop and stand stationary for approximately 5 to 15 seconds, then begin rotating in the opposite direction. After 2000 rotations the unit will stop and w...
