Report Description

Butyl glycol also known as 2-Butoxyethanol is acolourless, slightly hygroscopic, neutral,

high-boiling, low-volatility liquid with a mild odour that is used as a solvent and starting

material for many reactions. In addition to that, it is used as a solvent for aqueous

coating systems (water-based paints). Butyl glycol belongs to the family of glycol ethers.

Glycol ethers consist of two components, an alcohol andether. According to the nature of

alcohol, molecules of this class can be divided into two groups: E series and P series

which correspond to ethylene and propylene respectively. Butyl glycol belongs to E series

of glycol ethers. Butyl glycol is miscible with water and common organic solvents in all

proportions at room temperature. It shows the reactions typically shown by alcohols,

such as esterification, etherification, oxidation and formation of acetates and like most

ethers, it forms peroxides in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

The growth of water-based coatings that use glycol ethers as coalescing agents has been

the major factor behind the growth of the butyl glycol market. In the major regions of the

world, growth has been primarily for the butyl products such as butyl glycol; the methyl

and ethyl product groups have been in decline. This decline has been primarily due to the

increased concern about the toxicological effects of some ethylene oxide–based glycol

ethers. Butyl glycol is a mildly hazardous chemical owing to which, care must be taken

during its handling.
