Application in coating: PM, low toxic and strong soluble, is widely used as solvent and coupling agent of ink, paint coating and water-based paint. It is suitable for benzene propylene emulsion, propylene alkene acid emulsion and its emulsion paint, which are characterized by reducing the coating temperature, speeding its cohesion and keeping the coating in a good condition.
