Phenoxypropanol, also known as Propylene Glycol Phenyl Ether, is a slow evaporating glycol ether.  Phenoxypropanol is a clear, slightly yellow liquid and it’s odor is low and faint. 
Phenoxypropanol is very hydrophobic, while it’s molecular weight is heavier than other similar solvents.
These distinctive qualities make Phenoxypropanol an excellent choice for phenolic linings and coatings as well as a coalescent for acrylic- based latexes.

Applications of Phenoxypropanol:

Phenoxypropanol is often used as a carrier solvent for textile dyes and as a solvent for inks in felt tip and ball point pens as well as in stamp pads and textile printing pastes.
In the coating industry it finds use as a coalescent for latex adhesives and as a latex coalescent in water based coatings. Other applications include paint removers and metal working fluids as a useful ingredient when formulating homogeneous and stable metalworking fluids.

Phenoxypropanol is used in the following products: polymers.
Phenoxypropanol is used for the manufacture of: rubber products.
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use: in processing aids at industrial sites, of Phenoxypropanol in closed systems with minimal release, as an intermediate step in further manufacturing of another substance (use of intermediates), manufacturing of the Phenoxypropanol and formulation of mixtures.
Other release to the environment of Phenoxypropanol is likely to occur from: indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners) and outdoor use as processing aid.

Phenoxypropanol is nontoxic and environmental and has remarkable impacts on reducing the VOC of the coatings.
Phenoxypropanol is a strong solvent for alkyd resin, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, etc. 
Phenoxypropanol can provide excellent flow and leveling, luster, while helping prevent coating defects such as pinholing, orange peel, cracking and popping because of its high boiling point, good miscibility, moderate evaporation rate, good coalescing and coupling ability.
On the same condition, such as luster, fluidity, color-folding properties, cleaning resistance, etc., the usage of PPh is decreased to 30~50% as compared with common film-forming auxiliaries. 

Phenoxypropanol has been used as an additive to saline to induce anesthetic effect on the peripheral tissues isolated from Biomphalaria alexandrina prior to fixation.
