Buyer FAQ

What purity EEP do you supply?

Standard purity ≥99% (GC). Batch COA provided with every shipment.

How does EEP compare to other slow solvents?

EEP has an evaporation rate of 0.12 (nBuAc=1), similar to IBIB (0.4) but significantly slower. It provides stronger solvency for polyester and acrylic resins, making it preferred in bake and coil coating systems.

Do you supply both EEP and IBIB?

Yes. EEP and IBIB are produced in the same facility. Buyers sourcing both products benefit from consolidated logistics and documentation.

What is the lead time?

2 working days when raw material is in stock. Same facility as IBIB production.
