BG – Butyl Glycol (2‑Butoxyethanol)
Powerful Solvent for Coatings and Cleaners
Butyl Glycol is a widely used glycol ether solvent known for its excellent solvency and mild evaporation rate. It is a key ingredient in paint formulations, degreasers, and cleaning products where both water and oil solubility are required.
Versatile and Industrial-Grade
BG offers great compatibility with resins and dyes, making it suitable for adhesives, printing inks, and textile auxiliaries. Its low volatility improves application flow and reduces streaking, especially in surface coatings and household cleaners.

Butyl Glycol is an effective solvent, particularly in water-based coatings and industrial cleaners, due to its strong solvency and good compatibility with various formulations. However, its relatively slow evaporation rate can sometimes lead to longer drying times, and its use in indoor applications requires careful consideration of exposure and ventilation. In my opinion, the key is finding the right balance between solvency, evaporation rate, and concentration. What is the recommended dosage range for water-based coating formulations?
