FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are DGBE, Butyl Carbitol and Butoxy Diglycol the same solvent?
A: Yes. These names normally refer to diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, CAS 112-34-5. It is not the same as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate. Confirm the CAS number and complete name because shortened glycol-ether trade descriptions can refer to different boiling ranges and functional groups. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for industrial DGBE?
A: Set purity and chromatographic method, water, acidity, color, density, refractive index, distillation range and nonvolatile residue. For coatings, cleaners and other formulated systems, odor and trace glycol or glycol-ether impurities may also require limits. Review the batch COA and the actual method basis instead of approving only a generic solvent grade.
