Description
Triethylene glycol monobutyl ether is a colorless to light yellow liquid with low volatility and a slight special odor. It is soluble in many organic solvents, such as alcohols, ethers, esters, etc., and is also miscible with water. It has good surface activity and stability, and can maintain high stability under a variety of conditions. It is usually used as a solvent, plasticizer, and wetting agent, especially in the fields of decorative building materials and paints. It can be used in the formulation of water-based coatings, inks, fiber treatment agents, and can also be used as metal cleaning agents, adhesive components, softeners, detergents, etc.

Application
1. TEGBE serves as a solvent and diluent in coating formulations, aiding in adjusting viscosity and improving flow characteristics, which ultimately enhances the application properties of coatings. In certain cases, it functions as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility and durability of coatings. As an additive, it can improve drying time and surface quality, making coatings more suitable for different application scenarios.
2. TEGBE is commonly used as a major component in degreasers, effectively removing oils, dirt, and other surface contaminants. In cleaner formulations, it can also act as a surfactant, aiding in better penetration and cleaning of target surfaces.
3. TEGBE is used as a solvent and modifier in ink formulations, helping to increase viscosity and flowability, making it easier for inks to be printed and dried. In some cases, it also serves as a dispersant for pigments, helping to evenly disperse pigments and improve the color stability and quality of printed materials.
4. Used as a textile auxiliary, TEGBE improves dye penetration and dispersion, aiding in even dye distribution and colorfastness. It serves as a solvent in pesticides and herbicides, effectively enhancing their stability and activity.
5. In cosmetics and personal care products, TEGBE functions as a moisturizer and solvent, improving product texture and feel. Used in the production of specialty lubricants, TEGBE provides excellent lubricating properties and thermal stability, suitable for high-temperature and demanding environments.
Storge & Handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In case of contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Store TEGBE in tightly sealed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep away from incompatible materials.
