2-Butoxy ethanol

2-Butoxy ethanol is a kind of ethylene glycol ether solvent. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a slightly sweet smell. Its molecular structure contains hydrophilic ethoxy and hydrophobic butoxy groups, and it has both water solubility and oil solubility. It is widely used as an industrial cleaning agent (such as for degreasing glass and metals), paint thinner, ink and pesticide adjuvant.

Polykem’s quality 2-Butoxy ethanol(BCS) is a highly effective solvent, widely used in paints, inks, metal cleaners and other fields. The product complies with environmental protection standards and is of reliable quality. The company holds a license for the operation of hazardous chemicals, ensuring safe and compliant operation and providing high-quality services to customers.

Product Feature and Application

2-Butoxy ethanol(BCS)has strong solubility and good dispersibility, and is widely used in various industries.

Core Features

- Amphiphilic molecular structure dissolves both water-based residues and grease; delivers strong penetrating power on solid surfaces

- Balanced volatility profile: effective for wetting without overly fast evaporation during coating and cleaning operations

- Good compatibility with a broad spectrum of resins, surfactants and auxiliary chemicals, simplifying formula development

- Consistent solvency across typical operating temperature ranges

Use Cases

- Coatings & Paints Industry: 

Acts as a high-efficiency dispersant and professional thinner for various paint and coating systems. It effectively reduces paint viscosity, improves resin dispersion uniformity, optimizes film-forming effect, and avoids sagging, particle and uneven coloring problems during construction.

- Plastic, Rubber & Fiber Manufacturing: 

Serves as a key processing solvent in polymer production. It assists resin dissolution, improves raw material mixing uniformity, stabilizes molding performance, and ensures consistent finished product texture and physical indicators.

- Electronics Industrial Cleaning: 

Applied as a professional cleaning agent and precision degreaser for electronic components and circuit parts. It efficiently removes surface grease, dust and organic residues with moderate volatility, leaving no residue and protecting electronic precision parts.

- Chemical Synthesis Industry: 

Functions as a stable reaction medium and high-efficiency catalyst carrier for fine chemical synthesis. It maintains mild and stable reaction environment, improves catalytic efficiency, and enhances reaction uniformity and yield stability.

- Ink, Pigment & Dye Production: 

Used as a core solvent carrier in ink and colorant manufacturing. It promotes full dissolution and uniform dispersion of pigments and dyes, improving ink fluidity, coloring power and printing flatness.
