Butynediol

Butynediol is frequently used in surface technology, particularly in the production of coatings and paints. It is a compound that acts as a dispersant and wetting agent. Due to its surface-active properties, butynediol can help to reduce the interfacial tension between a coating and the substrate, resulting in improved wetting and adhesion.

In addition, butynediol can also be used as an excipient to improve the stability of dispersions and emulsions during the manufacturing process. This helps to ensure an even distribution of pigments or other ingredients in the coating and prevent unwanted phase separation. In surface technology, butynediol thus plays an important role in optimizing coating processes and improving the quality and durability of coated surfaces.
