Butyl glycol is most commonly used as a solvent and coalescing agent in water-based paints, coatings and inks where it improves the flow of the products as well as extending their drying time. It is also an efficient flow improver for urea, melamine and phenolic stoving finishes.

Butyl glycol, also known as 2-butoxyethanol and ethylene glycol butyl ether, 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.
