Augeo® SL 191: Low-Odor, Slow-Evaporating Solvent for Can and Protective Epoxy Coatings
Augeo® SL 191 is a bio-based, slow-evaporating solvent with a virtually imperceptible odor, setting it apart from other market options and making it ideal for diverse can and protective coating applications.
It is ideal as a plasticizer in thermoset epoxy systems, offering a low-odor alternative to conventional options like benzyl alcohol. With an optimal boiling point and unique molecular structure, it effectively dilutes curing agents for epoxy coatings cured at room or low temperatures. When used in coatings, it significantly reduces yellowing from photo-oxidation compared to traditional plasticizers such as benzyl-alcohol.
