Properties
EEP is a transparent and slow-volatile ether ester solvent. This product has excellent properties such as high boiling point, good electrical resistivity, low surface tension, suitable for various coatings . EEP is very effective in dissolving resins used in the surface layer of paints, inks, varnishes, etc. In addition, the low viscosity of the polymer solution makes it an excellent solvent for paint films and gives the paint good fluidity and flatness.
