2-Butoxyethanol（Cat No.:R029931）is a colorless, slightly sweet-smelling liquid used primarily as a solvent in paints, coatings, cleaners, and inks. It belongs to the glycol ether family and has both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it effective in dissolving a wide range of substances. Its chemical formula is C₆H₁₄O₂. While it is useful in industrial and household products, prolonged exposure—especially through inhalation or skin contact—may cause irritation or more serious health effects. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are recommended when handling 2-butoxyethanol in concentrated forms.
