Due to its relatively slow evaporation rate, Butyl Carbitol Acetate is preferred in formulations requiring extended open times or for applications where a low odor solvent is desired. Additionally, it finds application in the formulation of cleaning agents, degreasers, and industrial and household cleaners. Butyl Carbitol Acetate should be handled with care as prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be observed when working with Butyl Carbitol Acetate.
