Butyl diglycol, also known as diethylene glycol monobutyl ether. It is known for its ability to combine well with both water and a variety of organic compounds, making it a valuable component in formulations where an effective solvent with a balanced evaporation rate is needed. Due to its slow evaporation rate, Butyl diglycol helps maintain the stability of products over time, contributing to extended shelf life and consistency in performance.

Industrial Uses

1. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

Solvent: Butyl diglycol is used as a solvent in paints and coatings, helping to improve flow and leveling properties while preventing defects.
Flow Improver: Butyl diglycol serves as a high-boiling, low-volatility solvent that significantly improves the flow and leveling characteristics of paints and coatings. Its incorporation into formulations leads to smoother finishes and reduces common application defects. By reducing surface tension, butyl diglycol promotes better substrate wetting, resulting in uniform film formation and minimized brush or roller marks.
Coalescing Agent: It acts as a coalescing agent, aiding in the film formation of water-based coatings and improving the adhesion and durability of the coating.

2. Animal Healthcare

Disinfectants: Butyl diglycol is incorporated into disinfectant formulations used for cleaning and sanitizing animal housing, equipment, and environments. Its solvency properties aid in dissolving oils, greases, and other contaminants, enhancing the effectiveness of cleaning agents.

3. Construction

Surface Treatment: It can be applied as a surface treatment for concrete and masonry, enhancing resistance to moisture and chemical attack.
Mortar Additive: Butyl diglycol can be used as an additive in mortars to improve workability and adhesion.

4. Agrochemicals

Stabilizer:Agrochemical formulations to stabilize emulsions, improve solubility of active ingredients, and enhance product consistency and shelf life. Also aids in dissolving both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances.
Adjuvant: Butyl diglycol serves as an adjuvant in pesticide formulations, increasing the effectiveness of the active ingredients by improving their penetration and spread.
