Product Properties
  • Polyglykol B 01/10 is a clear, neutral, and viscous liquid at room temperature. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in many polar organic solvents like acetone or methanol.
  • Polyglykol B 01/10 can be dispersed much better in pure hydrocarbon solvents than the more hydrophilic B 11-type polyglycols.
  • It displays a very low solidification point of -50°C and no evaporation loss, even at temperatures as high as 100°C. Polyglykol B 01-types have a very low hygroscopy compared to other Polyglykol-types.
