Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether, identified by CAS 112‑34‑5, functions as a high-boiling glycol ether solvent used primarily to improve flow and leveling in industrial coatings and cleaners. Chemically defined as 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol, this colorless liquid serves as an effective coalescing agent for latex paints, facilitating film formation in architectural and industrial water-based systems. The substance, often referred to as Butyl Diglycol or BDGE in formulation data, acts as a retarder solvent in high-bake enamels and a coupling agent for resins in printing inks. We facilitate bulk supply of this chemical solvent with competitive factory pricing, meeting customized specifications for purity and moisture content, supported by complete MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.
