  • Applications

    1,1-Di(2-methylbutoxy)ethane (CAS 13535-43-8) is principally used as a non-aqueous solvent and processing aid in industrial manufacturing. It acts as a co-solvent in coatings, inks and adhesives, and can function as a plasticizer for certain resins to improve flexibility. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other ether or ester derivatives, and may be used in cleaning formulations as a specialty solvent. These uses are typically governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
