Product Properties
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01/150 is a clear neutral, viscous liquid at room temperature. POLYGLYKOL B 01/150 is insoluble in water but soluble in many polar organic solvents like acetone or methanol.
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01/150 can be dispersed much better in pure hydrocarbon solvents than the more hydrophilic B 11-type polyglycols.
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01/150 displays a very low solidification point of -38°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.
