Texanol ester alcohol is the premier coalescent for latex paints. It performs well in all types of latex paints, in a variety of weather conditions, and over substrates with different levels of porosity. Texanol provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescence, enhancing the performance properties of the paint including low temperature coalsence, touch-up, scrub resistance, washability, color development, thermal flexibility and resistance to mudcracking.
