Propylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Applications
Propylene glycol monobutyl ether: Primarily used in heavy-duty cleaning agents. It dissolves and couples oils and greases exceptionally well, making them suitable for both household and industrial formulations. Partially water-soluble, it can solubilize most solvents.
Specific applications include:
① Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, grease and paint removers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners;
② Effective coupling agent and solvent for water-reducing coatings;
③ Effective coagulant for water-based latex coatings;
④ Active solvent for solvent-based coatings;
⑤ Chemical intermediate in the production of esters, solvents, and plasticizers.
