2.  Low-volatility, high solvency glycol ether with excellent coupling
properties makes this glycol ether a highly effective carrier
solvent in various application sectors textile dye processes.
 With superior surface tension characteristics, water solubility
and solvency for oils, it has potential for use in household,
institutional, industrial and special-purpose cleaners.
 The coupling ability of this product enhances performance and
improves shelf stability of cleaning products.
