About Butyl Carbitol

Butyl CARBITOL glycol ether can be considered a slower-evaporating analog of Butyl CELLOSOLVE glycol ether. Itcan be used in combination with Butyl CELLOSOLVE glycol ether to lower the evaporation rate and increase thehydrophobicity of the solvent package. Yet Butyl CARBITOL glycol ether offers 100% water solubility.

Applications :

  • Latex coalescent in water-based architectural and industrial coatings. 
  • Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, hardsurface cleaners, and disinfectants. 
  • Primary solvent in solvent-based silk screen printing inks. 
  • Coupling solvent for resins and dyes in water-based printing inks. 
  • Solvent for ball point and felt tip pen inks, and textile dyeing and printing. 
  • Coalescent for latex adhesives. 
  • Deactivator, stabilizer for agricultural pesticides.
