  • Applications

    Dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether (CAS 29911-28-2) is a versatile glycol ether solvent used in a range of industrial and consumer formulations. In coatings and inks, it acts as a coalescing solvent and aids film formation for waterborne resins. It is used as a solvent in cleaning and degreasing formulations for industry and automotive parts due to its solvency for oils and resins. In adhesives, it serves as a solvent and carrier to improve formulation compatibility and open time. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used as a solvent and humectant to dissolve and stabilize conditioning oils and fragrances. In polymers and plastics processing, it can function as a processing solvent or co-solvent for resins and coatings, aiding formulation of flexible coatings and laminates. It is typically used within formulation limits and subject to local regulations.
