INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS
touched p h o t o g r a p h s are striking evidence of t h e improvement contributed b y 2-NP. L o w e r Viscosity
Through the use of 2-Nitropropane. it is possible t o obtain solutions of lower viscosity at equal solids or with higher solids at equal viscosity, both with improved economic a n d technical advantages. M o r e U n i f o r m Evaporation Rate
The evaporation rate of 2-Nitropropane is ideal for spray systems, contributing favorable flow properties and excellent blush resistance with improved drying times. Other A d v a n t a g e s
Films using 2-Nitropropane show marked reduction of w a t e r vapor permeability, cx-
cellent spray characteristics, and less tendency to crawl. Also, substantially thickcr films can be obtained at no loss of o t h e r desirable features. 2-NP can be used to advantage in both amine-catalyzed systems and systems employing urea-formaldehyde, polyamides, or phenolic crosslinking agents.
