Description

2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Propanol is a high-purity glycol ether solvent with a branched alkoxy structure, offering a favorable balance of solvency and evaporation rate. This compound is valued for its excellent coupling ability between water and hydrophobic substances, making it a versatile formulation component. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the coatings, inks, cleaning products, and agrochemical industries seeking effective, low-odor performance additives.

Application

• Coatings & Inks: Acts as a coalescing agent and solvent in water-based architectural and industrial coatings, improving film formation and flow properties.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used as a coupling solvent in alkaline and acidic cleaner formulations to enhance the solubility of surfactants and oils.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a solvent and penetration aid in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, aiding in active ingredient stability and efficacy.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a coupling agent and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Chemical Intermediates: Utilized as a building block or reaction medium in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and polymers.
• Printing & Dyeing: Functions as a leveling agent and solvent in textile dyeing and printing pastes.
