Comprehensive Solvent Capabilities

Methyl carbitol is renowned for its outstanding solvency, enabling efficient dissolution of resins, dyes, and pigments. Its compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents makes it the preferred choice in paints, coatings, and ink formulations. This versatility delivers consistently high-quality results in demanding industrial processes.

Impressive Safety & Stability Profile

With a boiling point of 194C and a flash point of 87C (closed cup), methyl carbitol remains stable under normal handling with proper precautions. Its low vapor pressure and low volatility reduce evaporation risks, while specific storage away from ignition sources ensures long shelf life up to 24 months.

Industrial Utility & Packaging Options

Packaged for bulk and industrial use (drums, IBC, tanker), methyl carbitol is ideal for large-scale manufacturing. In India, it is widely distributed and supplied by manufacturers and retailers as a reliable industrial grade chemical with a global export profile.

FAQs of Methyl carbitol:

Q: How should methyl carbitol be safely stored and handled in industrial environments?

A: Methyl carbitol must be stored in cool, dry, and well-ventilated locations, away from open flames or sources of ignition due to its flash point (87C) and toxic nature. Use appropriate protective gear, and ensure containment to prevent leaks, as the chemical is poisonous and harmful to aquatic life.

Q: What makes methyl carbitol an effective solvent in coatings and inks?

A: Methyl carbitols chemical structure and high purity (99%) enable it to dissolve a wide array of resins, dyes, and pigments. Its miscibility with water and many organics, along with low volatility and neutral pH, ensures superior performance and formulation stability.

Q: When is methyl carbitol most commonly used in industrial processes?

A: Methyl carbitol is frequently utilized during the manufacture of coatings, dyes, inks, and cleaning agents. It is also employed in textile dyeing and printing, where its excellent solvency and compatibility increase process efficiency and product uniformity.

Q: Where can I source high-purity industrial methyl carbitol in India?

A: Qualified suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers across India offer industrial-grade methyl carbitol. It is commonly available in drums, IBC containers, and tankers to accommodate different scale requirements, with export and import options facilitated under HS Code 29094900.

Q: What is the benefit of using methyl carbitol compared to other solvents?

A: Its low volatility, strong solvency, and hygroscopic properties allow methyl carbitol to deliver superior dissolving power with manageable evaporation and vapor risks. This translates to reliable results, enhanced safety in use, and reduced losses during production.

Q: How is methyl carbitol typically applied in cleaning agents or textile processes?

A: In cleaning agents, methyl carbitol helps dissolve and remove stubborn residues due to its excellent solvency. In textile operations, it efficiently carries dyes for vibrant printing and even coloration, supporting both cleaning and dyeing workflows with improved consistency.
