What is Butyl Glycol? It is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H14O2. It is a colourless liquid with a sweet, ether-like odour, and is relatively non-volatile and of low toxicity. This compound is also known by other names such as 2-Butoxyethanol, Butyl cellosolve, Butyl monoether glycol, and EGBE (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether)

Consistent Quality: We use only carefully sourced Butyl Glycol 99% to ensure our customers can safely use it for any application.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and bottled using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.

Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Frequent Uses

Solvents
Butyl glycol usage is dominated by the paint industry which consumes approximately 75% of all the BG produced. This is because it is a low volatility solvent and can therefore both extend the drying times of coatings and improve their flow. Other applications include use as a solvent in printing inks due to its high boiling point, textile dyes and as a component of hydraulic fluids.

Petroleum industry
It is also a component of drilling and cutting oils and is a major component of Corexit 9527, which is an oil spill dispersant product.

Cleaners and degreasers
Used regularly in many home cleaning products. It provides excellent cleaning power for domestic cleaning products and also provides the characteristic odour associated with them. It also plays the same role in some industrial and commercial surface cleaners.

    I have been using surgical spirit for years but recently it's very hard to get hold of. Luckily Amazon sell this so ordered some just to keep back. It can be used for a number of things so handy to have a bottle in. It's only a small bottle but you don't need much.
