Butyl Glycol Acetate

Low-volatility solvent with very good solvent power for numerous substances in the coatings and chemical downstream industries. Butylglycol Acetate is a clear, low-volatility liquid with a faint ester odour. It is miscible with many common organic solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and glycol ethers, but is only very sparingly soluble with water.
