About Product

Benzyl Alcohol (C₆H₅CH₂OH) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild aromatic scent, commonly used as a solvent in the paint, inks, and coatings industry. Its low volatility, excellent solvency, and compatibility with various resins make it ideal for formulations requiring slow evaporation and extended workability. It enhances flow, film formation, and pigment dispersion in coatings, while being relatively low in toxicity and environmentally safer than many traditional solvents.
