Low/zero VOC glycol ether-esters and use as clean-up solvents and paint thinners

摘要

This invention relates to a clean-up solvent and paint thinner for solvent-borne resins and coatings selected from compositions of Formula (I);wherein R1 is a C1-C10 alkyl group, phenyl or benzyl, R2 is either hydrogen or methyl, R3 is a carbon chain including 4-6 carbon atoms, and n=2-4;

of Formula (II)
;wherein R1 and R4 are, independently, C1-C10 alkyl groups, phenyl or benzyl, R2 is either hydrogen or methyl, R3 is a carbon chain including 0-4 carbon atoms, and n=1-4; and mixtures thereof.;The invention also relates to a solvent-borne composition including a solvent-borne polymer and the low and zero VOC composition of the invention; and a method for cleaning or thinning a solvent-borne composition.
