Usage Information
  • INC 2590 may be formulated into a number of solvent systems, giving you the flexibility of optimizing both performance and cost.
  • When formulated in an aromatic solvent, such as Tolu-ene or Xylene, the finished product may help in dissolving as well as dispersing paraffin.
  • INC 2590 may also be formulated in water strictly as a paraffin dispersant.
  • However, it is recommended that INC 2590 be diluted in about 5 gallons of IPA or Methanol before adding the water, as this will avoid gelling the product.
  • When formulated with water, it has been reported that the performance of INC 2590 is somewhat different from its performance in an oil-soluble blend.
  • Therefore, it is recommended that you test both modalities prior to recommending a final blend.
