Description
The first in a series of "Cellosolve®" solvents based on glycol ethers. This colorless, odorless liquid is miscible with both water and most organic solvents. Cellosolve® dissolves many oils, resins, and waxes. It is used as a solvent for Cellulose nitrate resins, spray lacquers, varnishes, and enamels. Cellosolve® is also used in varnish removers and Dry cleaning solutions. Other applications include use in Dye baths, Leather finishing and as an Emulsifier.
