Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether - EGMBE

Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether. is versatile solvent of product obtains by reaction betweeen

ethylene oxide and n-Butanol. Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether is chemically known as a Butyl Glycol,

1-n-Butoxy-2-hydroxyethane, n-butyl (2-hydroxyethyl) ether. Commercially it is known as a Butyl

Cellosolve, which is a trademark of Union Carbide. ADVANCE PETROCHEMICALS LTD. is selling

this product in brand name APISOLVE 118.

Applications:

Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol)  is employed primarily in the production of lacquers based on

nitrocellulose, cellulose ethers and chlorinated rubber. Small quantities are also used combination

lacquers. Solutions of nitrocellulose in Butyl Glycol may be diluted with large quantity of white spirit,

aromatic hydrocarbons or ethanol without adversely affecting the film property. Small quantities of 

Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether improves both the flow and dilution capacity of the lacquers and also

enhance the gloss of the resultant lacquer films.

Since Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) dries lacquer coatings very slowly, it is ideal for the preparation

of brushing lacquers based on cellulose esters, cellulose ethers and chlorinated rubber. Even quite small

additions of Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) to alkyd, the viscosity of the lacquer solution considerably

reduce, thereby improving the brush-out property of such lacquers.

2-Butoxy Ethanol is a good intermediate solvent for use in mineral oil emulsion. Even small quantities

of Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) can disperse and stabilize such emulsion quite effectively.

APISOLVE 118 does not attack rubber.
