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
