Hexylene Glycol (HEG)

Hexylene glycol (HEG) is a colorless solvent with a low evaporation rate and excellent water solubility. It is commonly used as a surfactant or emulsifying agent in various industries. In the coating industry, hexylene glycol is an essential component for lacquers, varnishes, printing inks, and both oil- and water-based paints. Additionally, hexylene glycol is often used in personal care products due to its ability to enhance the texture, moisturization, and absorption of these formulations.
