Description

2-[2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)-1-Methylethoxy]Propan-1-Ol is a high-purity, branched-chain polyether alcohol valued for its excellent solvency and coupling properties. This compound is a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced formulations, offering a unique balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, inks, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• As a coupling agent and co-solvent in water-based coatings and inks to improve film formation and stability.
• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized surfactants and emulsifiers for agrochemical and industrial formulations.
• As a viscosity modifier and flow aid in high-performance lubricants and functional fluids.
• As a penetrant and carrier solvent in cleaning and degreasing formulations for industrial and electronic applications.
• In the production of polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) and other polymers where it acts as a reactive diluent or chain extender.
• As a formulation component in adhesives and sealants to adjust rheology and enhance substrate wetting.

Quality Control

Our 2-[2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)-1-Methylethoxy]Propan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and safety data is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent oxidation and moisture uptake. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
