2-Butoxyethanol is an organic compound with the chemical formula BuOC 2 H 4 OH (Bu = CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2).This colorless liquid has a sweet, ether-like odor, as it derives from the family of glycol ethers, and is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol.
It will react strongly with oxidizers. Its safety profile is similar to 2-butoxyethanol. [1] [2]People can be exposed to 2-butoxyethanol acetate in the workplace by breathing it in, swallowing it, skin absorption, or eye contact.
Glycol ethers are designated "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.Typically, E-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while P-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.
The second active ingredient is an organic solvent such as 2-butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, trade name butyl cellosolve) that acts as a wetting agent and provides a protective primer layer in conjunction with an organic polymer emulsion. [citation needed]
Diethylene glycol butyl ether (2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol) is the organic compound with the formula C 4 H 9 OC 2 H 4 OC 2 H 4 OH. A colorless liquid, it is common industrial solvent. It is one of several glycol ether solvents. It has low odour and high boiling point.
A solvent dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution Ethyl acetate, a nail polish solvent. [1]A solvent (from the Latin solvÅ, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
2-Ethoxyethanol, also known by the trademark Ethyl cellosolve, is a solvent used widely in commercial and industrial applications. It is a clear, colorless, nearly odorless liquid that is miscible with water, ethanol , diethyl ether , acetone , and ethyl acetate .
