Product Description

Butyl Glycol Ether, also known as 2-butoxyethanol or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, is a clear, colorless liquid solvent with a mild, pleasant odor. It is commonly used in various industrial and commercial applications. Butyl Glycol Ether is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with n-butanol. It is valued for its high solvency power, low volatility, and compatibility with a wide range of resin systems. Butyl Glycol Ether serves as an effective solvent in coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and varnishes, where it aids in the dispersion of pigments, resins, and other additives.

It is also utilized as a coupling agent in water-based coatings and as a coalescing agent in latex paints to improve film formation and appearance. Additionally, Butyl Glycol Ether finds application in the formulation of cleaning agents, degreasers, and industrial and household cleaners. It 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 Glycol Ether
