Usage:
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is widely used across multiple industries due to its solvent and coalescing properties:
- Paints and coatings: Acts as a coalescing agent and solvent, improving film formation, leveling, flow, and adhesion in water-based paints, lacquers, and varnishes.
- Cleaning agents: Key ingredient in industrial and household cleaners due to its ability to dissolve both water-soluble and oil-soluble substances.
- Printing inks: Functions as a solvent and viscosity modifier in ink formulations.
- Textile processing: Used as a levelling agent, dispersant, and fiber wetting agent.
- Chemical synthesis: Serves as an intermediate and solvent in organic reactions, including resin and pesticide formulations.
Packing, Storage, Delivery:
Store in a dry, cool and well ventilated area. Keep container closed. Store away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding packaging, palletizing, banding, shrink wrapping and stacking.
