  • Applications

    Butoxyl (CAS 4435-53-4) is typically used as a solvent or co-solvent in industrial formulations, with particular relevance to coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and cleaning products. It is also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and polymers. In some polymer systems it can function as a plasticizer or stabilizer. Additionally, it may act as a processing aid or surfactant to improve solubility and compatibility among formulation components.
