Description
Butyl Glycol 99% (Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether)
Butyl Glycol 99% (Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether) (CAS 111-76-2, molecular formula C6H14O2) is a coatings raw material used by paint, ink and adhesive formulators who need consistent dispersion, opacity and rheology from drum to drum. China Chemicals supplies it at 99% min in pack sizes from 1 L through to 200 L Drum, so laboratory trial quantities and full production volumes can be sourced from the same specification.
It is also traded as BG, Butyl Cellosolve, 2-Butoxyethanol, EGBE. Every consignment ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and the current Safety Data Sheet, and material is stored and picked under stock rotation so you receive product well inside its shelf life.
Typical applications
- Coalescing solvent in water-based paint
- Coupling solvent in hard surface and glass cleaners
- Brake fluid and hydraulic fluid component
- Solvent in printing ink and wood stain
- Degreaser and metal cleaner formulation
