Application:

1.Coatings and Ink Industry:

As the main solvent or leveling agent, it is widely used in architectural coatings, industrial coatings (such as mechanical paint, container paint), and printing inks (such as flexographic printing ink, screen printing ink).

2.Cleaning industry:

As a precision cleaning agent, it is used for degreasing and cleaning metal parts (such as automotive parts and mechanical components) and electronic products (such as circuit boards and semiconductors). It can effectively remove oil stains, solder residue, and dust, and will not corrode the surface of materials; Also used in household cleaning products (such as multi-purpose cleaners) to enhance oil solubility.

3.Textile and leather industry:

In the textile field, as a solvent for textile additives (such as softeners and antistatic agents), it enhances the stability of additives and the uniformity of fabric impregnation, thereby improving the texture and antistatic performance of fabrics

4.Daily chemical and cosmetics industry:

as a solvent and humectant, it is added to skin care products (lotion, face cream), perfume, and hair dye, which can dissolve essence and active ingredients, lock in water, and extend the product shelf life; It is also used for solubilization of cosmetic raw materials to avoid oil-water system stratification.

5.In the field of chemical and pharmaceutical industry:

as a solvent for organic synthesis reactions (such as esterification and etherification reactions), it can improve reaction conversion rate and product purity

Safety profile:

Diethylene glycol butyl ether has mild toxicity and can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain when taken orally; Long term inhalation of high concentration steam may irritate the respiratory tract, leading to dizziness and fatigue; Direct skin contact may cause slight defatting and dryness, and sensitive skin may turn red upon contact. It is necessary to rinse with water in a timely manner.

Storage requirements:

keep the product dry

Transport & Packaging:

During transportation, it is necessary to load and unload gently to avoid packaging damage, compression, or falling, and to prevent product leakage and clumping.
