Description
1-Phenoxy-2-propanol (CAS 770-35-4) is a glycol ether solvent commercially known under trade names including Dowanol PPH and Aurora KA-7000. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29094990. The compound is also referenced in technical literature as NSC 24015 and phenoxypropanol.
In coatings and adhesive formulations, 1-phenoxy-2-propanol functions as a coalescing solvent, reducing surface tension to improve film formation and substrate wetting. In personal care products, it acts as a preservative booster and antimicrobial carrier, disrupting microbial cell membranes to extend product shelf life alongside primary preservative systems.
This material is supplied as a colourless liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for European procurement. Buyers should confirm supplier SDS documentation and purity specifications prior to formulation use. Standard packaging formats for industrial supply typically include drums and intermediate bulk containers.
