Details:

CAS 143-22-6 Triethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether TEGBE Solvent For Paints And Coatings

 

Product Description

Triethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether: Description

Triethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (commonly abbreviated as TEGBE) is a glycol ether, a class of solvents known for their excellent solvency, low volatility, and moderate evaporation rate. TEGBE is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is widely used as a solvent in paints, coatings, cleaners, and other industrial formulations. Its high boiling point and water-miscibility make it especially useful in applications requiring a stable, slow-evaporating solvent.

Key Features

1. Excellent Solvency:

   • Dissolves a wide range of substances, including resins, oils, and dyes, making it highly versatile in industrial applications.

2. Water-Miscibility:

   • Fully miscible with water, enabling its use in water-based formulations and cleaning solutions.

3. Slow Evaporation Rate:

   • Ideal for applications that require longer drying times or controlled evaporation.

4. High Boiling Point:

   • Stable under high-temperature conditions, useful in heat-intensive applications.

5. Low Toxicity:

   • Compared to other glycol ethers, TEGBE has a lower toxicity profile, making it safer for various applications.

6. Mild Odor:

   • Provides better user experience in formulations compared to stronger-smelling solvents.

 

Applications

1. Paints and Coatings:

   • Acts as a solvent for water-based and solvent-based paints and coatings.
   • Improves flow, leveling, and drying properties.

2. Industrial Cleaners:

   • Used in cleaning formulations for metals, glass, and industrial machinery due to its ability to dissolve oils, greases, and other contaminants.

3. Printing Inks:

   • Enhances the performance of inks by providing stability and controlling evaporation rates.

4. Textile and Leather:

   • Utilized as a solvent in dyeing and finishing processes.

5. Adhesives and Sealants:
