Ethylene glycol butyl ether has a slightly peculiar odour and is miscible with a variety of organic solvents such as water, ethanol, ether and acetone. It has a high boiling point and moderate flash point, so it is relatively safe in use and storage.
Glycol butyl ether has a wide range of applications in industrial production. It is commonly used as a solvent for paints, inks and resins, as well as metal cleaners, paint strippers, surfactants, emulsifiers and dispersants. In addition, it can also be used as a synthetic fibre oiling agent, pesticide dispersant and leather treatment agent.
Coatings and ink industry: Glycol butyl ether is commonly used as a solvent to help improve the levelling, dispersion and adhesion of coatings. It can make coatings easier to apply and provide better film quality and appearance.
Resin Industry: Glycol Butyl Ether can be used as a diluent and dissolvent in the manufacturing and application of resins to help the resins mix and disperse better.
Metal Treatment: As a metal cleaning agent, Glycol Butyl Ether can effectively remove grease, dirt and oxides from metal surfaces, providing a clean surface for subsequent processing or coating treatment.
Paint Stripper: Due to its good solvency properties, Glycol Butyl Ether can be used as a paint stripper to help remove old or substandard coatings.
Surfactants: Glycol Butyl Ether can be used as a starting material or formulation component in the preparation of surfactants to improve foaming, emulsification and dispersion of products.
Fibre oiling agents: In the production of synthetic fibres, Glycol Butyl Ether can be used as an oiling agent component to improve the lubricity and softness of fibres.
Pesticides and leather treatment: Glycol Butyl Ether is used as a dispersant or carrier in pesticides and leather treatments to help pesticide ingredients to be better dispersed on the surface of plants or to improve the treatment effect of leather.
Other applications: Glycol Butyl Ether can also be used in printing inks, car care products, glass cleaners and electronic cleaners.
