DISCOVER A WORLD OF FLEXIBILITY WITH DUPONT DBE SOLVENT Strong, active DuPont DBE (dibasic ester) Solvent provides a wide range of flexibility in bake-finish coatings formulations. When blended with other low cost, low toxicity solvents, DBE Solvent is compatible with virtually all coil and sheet coatings resin systems. For instance, it provides excellent adhesion and leveling for high-performance bake finishes. And in a polyester-based system, DBE Solvent offers distinct advantages in pigment hiding power. Formulators can expect a 3% to 5% increase in actual hiding performance. DBE Solvent also serves as a coalescing agent in waterborne formulations. Because it is non-flocculating, it provides greater color development in waterbased, tinted industrial and trade sale paints. In addition to the broad flexibility DBE offers formulators, it costs up to 30% less than most other active solvents. DuPont can provide technical assistance to help you formulate with DBE Solvent to meet your present requirements. Or, we can help you create high-performance coatings for future needs.
