What is Texanol?

Texanols are a colorless liquid and actually it is a kind of primer alcohol that is most widely used in the paint industry. This product is sold with different degrees of purity, of which 75% grade is the most important degree of purity.
In fact, Texanol is one of the imported solvents, and due to its very high solubility in organic chemicals, it has wide applications in industries and is known as a coagulating agent for the formation of latex paints.

The high compatibility of texanol with latex has a great effect on the film of formulated colors; On the other hand, with a high degree of purity and stability and durability, the product obtained from them is of high quality.
It also helps to improve the integrity of the paint film with the very high abrasion resistance it gives to the paints.

Ester alcohol has a very good durability in various weather conditions and can give the highest level of uniformity to the paint film and give products features such as high flexibility against cold, corrosion, high resistance to low temperature, washability, and thickening of the paint coating.

In terms of solubility, texanols are mixed in many materials and this issue has made them very widely used, which have been used as orthodontic coatings in the medical industry. This coating is placed on the tooth enamel and prevents damage to the gums and teeth.

In the agricultural industry, this substance is used together with cyclohexanone to produce pesticides and insecticides, and in the oil industry, due to its coagulating properties, it helps to remove sludge in drilling; This feature also helps to purify water.
As we said, the most unique feature of Texanol is its coagulating property, which is very important in the production of colors.

Unlike drying paints, dispersion paints have a more complicated drying process; Therefore, Texanol is an important factor in the formation of a thin layer on water-based paints and actually causes the polymer particles to mix.

Also, their high evaporation speed has made it an ideal solvent for these types of paints, which is compatible with all kinds of solvents and is very easy to use; Also, this substance is used as a balancing and intermediate substance in the production of nail polish, ink, floor polish, etc.

This product is often imported, and Chinese brands and the American Isman brand are among the most important suppliers of Texanol in Iran.
