Butyldiglycol（Cat No.:M069718）, also known as 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol, is a clear, slightly viscous, water-soluble glycol ether used as a solvent in various industrial and household applications. It features both ether and hydroxyl functional groups, providing excellent solvency for polar and nonpolar substances. Commonly used in cleaning products, coatings, inks, and dyes, butyldiglycol improves flow, leveling, and drying properties. Its low volatility and good coupling ability make it effective in formulations requiring extended evaporation times. It is also used as a coalescing agent in water-based paints and as a solvent in metalworking fluids.
