Characterization of butyl glycol acetate and its applications

Butyl glycol acetate has the appearance of a transparent liquid that is completely colorless and it is interesting to know that it is sold in the market under the brand name Botox ethanol acetate.
This product is often used as a solvent in dyeing and making printing inks, on the other hand, it is also used as an auxiliary material for faster drying of colors.

This product has a high boiling point and is a solvent with a low degree of volatility, its smell is weak and to some extent a very small smell of fruit similar to banana can be felt from it; It also has the ability to dissolve glycols in alcohol.

Considering that this product has a high boiling point, it is used in the production of polyvinyl acetate latex, which is actually widely used in the production of adhesives and paints.

Another feature that has made this product widely used in industries is its low evaporability, which means that no trace of the movement of the brush remains on the surfaces during painting, and the colors have a better coverage on the surfaces.

This product is a precursor to the production of softeners, which softeners are used to dilute colors and create adhesion in paint and coatings. When this substance is added to the paint as a softener, the colors will become elastic and will also be very durable against sunlight.

Butyl glycol acetate has the property of rusting and is used as a cleaner and anti-rust. On the other hand, it increases the rapid drying of colors when exposed to air. It also makes the final color more shiny.

This product is widely used in the production of printing ink, flexographic inks, automatic ink and paint, and it is also used in fabric dyeing.

The ability to combine butyl glycol acetate with lubricating oils has made it used in the drilling and cutting industry, which helps speed up and facilitate the drilling process.

This product is used in the production of surface cleaners, fertilizer production, in the textile and wood industry, and is one of the most important antifreeze compounds.

The global market of butyl glycol acetate is currently booming and its many uses have increased the demand for this substance.

You need to know that different regions of Asia, including our country, have a large share of the production of this substance and it is produced in large domestic factories of the country, such as Elixir Pouyan, Chubineh and Halal Pouyan.
