GLYCOL ETHERS
GLYCOL ETHERS have remarkable solvent characteristics due to both ether and alcohol functional groups. These solvents are often used in the formulations of inks, paints & coatings and cleaning fluids.
| Product | Description | CAS number | Regional availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUTYL GLYCOL ETHER (BGE) OXYSOL | BUTYL GLYCOL ETHER has outstanding solvent power and is used widely as a solvent in OEM coatings and water-based paints. BGE reduces the viscosity in alkyl resin varnishes and acts as a property regulator, coalescer and flow improver in water-based paints. Other applications include printing inks, cleansers and in mineral oil emulsions. | 111-76-2 | Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe |
| BUTYL DIGLYCOL ETHER | Used as solvent in the coating industry, printing inks, component in surface cleaners eg degreasing metals and cutting oils. Used as starting material of butyl diglycol acetate | 112-34-5 | Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe |
| SASFROTH 200 BUTYL TRIGLYCOL ETHER | BUTYL TRIGLYCOL ETHER (BTG) has high dissolving power for cellulose nitrate, many synthetic, natural resins, and dyestuffs. BTG is used typically in cutting & hydraulic oils and is often used in brake fluids, mining & oil field chemicals and textile dyes. | 143-22-6, 1559-34-8, 112-34-5 | Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe |
| BUTYL GLYCOL ACETATE | Important use in the coatings industry. Other applications are inks (flexographic, gravure, and screen printing), dyes to print, colour leather and textiles. Also used in furniture polishes and wood stains. | 112-07-2 | Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe |
| BUTYL DIGLYCOL ACETATE | Used as a solvent in lacquers, lacquer thinners, etch primers, liquid printing inks, foundry dressings, and stain removers. Raw material for the manufacture of acetates, xanthates, phthalates, mixed alkylated GLYCOL ETHERS, and butylated resins. | 124-17-4 | Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe |
