  • Applications

    Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate (CAS 124-17-4) is commonly used as a solvent and co-solvent in industrial formulations. Typical applications include coatings and paints (solvent for architectural, automotive, and wood finishes), printing inks (carrier solvent for various ink systems), adhesives and sealants (solvent formulation and viscosity control), cleaning and degreasing formulations (industrial cleaners and metal degreasers), and polymer or resin processing (co-solvent or processing aid in plastics and resin systems). It may also serve as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.
