Ethylene Glycol Butyl Ether is an important ethylene glycol ether solvent with excellent solvency and moderate volatility. It is primarily used as a solvent and leveling agent in paints, coatings, and inks, and also in formulations for metal cleaners, paint strippers, and household and industrial cleaners.

Ethylene Glycol Butyl Ether (CAS No.: 111-76-2), commonly known as 2-Butoxyethanol or butyl cellosolve, is a typical “E-series” ethylene glycol ether. It contains both a hydrophilic ether oxygen group and a hydrophobic butyl group, granting it good solvency for a variety of polar and non-polar substances, along with a relatively slow evaporation rate. In the coatings industry, it is an important solvent and additive for nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylic paints, epoxy coatings, etc., effectively improving film leveling property, gloss property, and cratering resistance. In the cleaning sector, it is a key component in many water-based and solvent-based metal cleaners, degreasers, glass cleaners, and hard-surface cleaners. Additionally, it finds use in inks, pesticide emulsifiers, dye dispersants, and other fields. It is important to note that glycol ethers require attention to their toxicological properties and compliance with relevant safety regulations during use. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced via the etherification of ethylene glycol and n-butanol, achieving a purity of ≥99.0% with low moisture and alcohol content. It offers stable quality, meeting the performance requirements of industries such as coatings, inks, and cleaning agents. |
