    *It corresponds to max. 0.01% of acidity, calculated as acetic acid

    Properties

    Colorless, neutral, slightly hygroscopic, mobile liquid with a mild odor. The product is
    miscible with water and common organic solvents in all proportions at room
    temperature.
    Butylglycol can undergo typical reactions typical of an alcohol, such as esterification,
    etherification, oxidation, and the formation of acetates and alcoholates. Like most
    ethers, it forms peroxides in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

    Applications Selected applications of Butylglycol are described below.


    As a low-volatility solvent, Butylglycol can be used to extend the drying time of
    coatings and improves their flow. It is especially recommended for paints for brush-
    application based on cellulose nitrate, chlorinated binders, or cellulose ethers. When
    Butylglycol is applied to dry coatings, it only softens them very slowly.
    Small proportions of Butylglycol improve the brushability of, for example, alkyd resin
    paints and reduce their viscosity. It is also an extremely efficient flow improver for
    urea, melamine, or phenolic stoving finishes.
    Butylglycol has proved to be the most effective of a large number of organic solvents
    tested in a very wide range of aqueous coating systems. In particular, it improves the
    properties of the paint by reducing the viscosity peak when oxidatively and physically
    drying water-based paints, including those for stove- enameling, are diluted with
    water.
    As a coalescing aid, Butylglycol can significantly lower the minimum film- forming
    temperature (MFFT) and improve flow in many physically drying paint systems.
    Butylglycol improves the evaporation behavior of the volatile constituents (e.
    g. in water-based stoving enamels) during hot-air or infrared drying.
    Further information on the use of Butylglycol in aqueous coating systems can be found
    in our Technical Information Sheet “Butylglycol in water-based coating systems” (TI-
    CIW/ES 016 e).
    Further applications of Butylglycol are as follows:
    • Solvent in printing inks for leather dyes
    • Component in surface cleaners, e. g. to degrease metal surfaces
    • Cleaners
    • Component in hydraulic fluids
    • Component in drilling and cutting oils (strong solvent)
    • Starting material in the production of butyl glycol acetate which is also
    an excellent solvent
    • Starting material in the production of plasticizers, e. g. by reaction with
    phthalic anhydride

    Storage & Handling Butylglycol should be stored under nitrogen and moisture free. The storage
    temperature must not exceed 40 °C. Under these conditions, a storage stability of 12
    months can be expected.
    As soon as the original packaging is opened and the Butylglycol is exposed to air, there
    is the risk of peroxide and other side products formation. Opened containers must be
    stored under inert atmosphere conditions.
    It is recommended to use nitrogen blanketing for bulk storage tanks.
