High Purity Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (EGMBE)

Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (commonly known as Butyl Glycol, EGMBE or BCS) is a colorless, transparent, high-boiling liquid solvent with a mild, pleasant odor. Featuring both ether and hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure, it possesses amphiphilic properties (both lipophilic and hydrophilic), granting it exceptional dissolving power over various resins, paints, inks, and oils. It effectively prevents surface blushing in humid environments, making it an indispensable premium solvent in the coatings and printing ink industries.

Technical Specifications & Physical Properties

Core Applications

• Paint & Coatings: Used as a high-boiling solvent and leveling agent for nitrocellulose lacquers, synthetic resin coatings, and enamels. It improves film flow, gloss, and effectively prevents "blushing" or frosting under high humidity conditions.

• Printing Inks: Widely formulated in printing inks to control evaporation rates and improve ink solubility.

• Cleaners: An excellent ingredient in surface cleaners, metal degreasers, and industrial heavy-duty detergents due to its strong oil-dissolving capability.

Package: 180 KGS net weight per iron drum. IBC packaging and ISO TANK bulk supply are also available upon request.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated chemical warehouse. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Separate from strong oxidizers and acids.
