Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (EGMBE) - High-Purity Solvent

Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (EGMBE), also known as 2-Butoxyethanol, is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a mild, characteristic odor. It's a versatile solvent widely used in various industrial and commercial applications due to its exceptional solvency properties and compatibility with numerous materials. Our high-purity EGMBE offers superior performance and consistent quality, making it ideal for demanding applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Excellent Solvency: EGMBE excels at dissolving a broad range of substances, including resins, oils, fats, waxes, dyes, and nitrocellulose. This makes it an effective component in numerous formulations.
• High Boiling Point: Its relatively high boiling point (171°C) allows for efficient use in high-temperature applications and facilitates the removal of other solvents.
• Good Water Miscibility: EGMBE readily mixes with water, offering flexibility in formulation and cleaning processes.
• Low Viscosity: Its low viscosity ensures easy handling, pumping, and application.
• High Purity: Our EGMBE undergoes rigorous purification processes to guarantee a consistent high level of purity, minimizing impurities that could affect performance or product stability.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, offering significant cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

Typical Applications:

• Coatings & Paints: A crucial component in paints, lacquers, and varnishes, enhancing flow, leveling, and gloss. It's also used as a coalescing agent to improve film formation.
• Cleaning Agents: Its strong solvency power makes it an effective ingredient in various cleaning solutions, including industrial degreasers and metal cleaners.
• Printing Inks: Improves the flow and adhesion of printing inks, leading to crisper and more vibrant prints.
• Adhesives: Used as a solvent in various adhesive formulations, enhancing adhesion and improving the properties of the final product.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a solvent in certain formulations, but its use should be carefully considered due to potential skin irritation at high concentrations. (Always consult relevant safety data sheets.)
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Employed as a solvent in some pharmaceutical preparations, requiring strict adherence to purity standards.
