Coatings Industry 
As a low volatility solvent, 2-BUTOXYETHANOL can be used to extend the drying time of coatings and improves their flow. 
It is especially recommended for paints for brush-application based on cellulose nitrate, chlorinated binders or cellulose ethers, because when it is applied to dry coatings, it only softens them very slowly.
Small proportions of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL improve the brushability of, for example, alkyd resin paints and reduce their viscosity. 
It is also an extremely efficient flow improver for urea, melamine or phe-nolic stoving finishes.

2-BUTOXYETHANOL has proved to be the most effective of a large number of organic solvents tested in a very wide range of aqueous coating systems. 
In particular, it improves the properties of the paint by reducing the viscosity peak when oxidatively and physically drying water-based paints, including those for stove-enamelling, are diluted with water. 
As a coalescing aid, 2-BUTOXYETHANOL can significantly lower the minimum filmforming temperature (MFFT) and improve flow in many physically drying paint systems. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL improves the evaporation behaviour of the volatile constituents (e. g. in water-based stoving enamels) during hot-air or infrared drying. 

Further applications of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL are as follows: 
– Solvent in printing inks for leather dyes, etc. 
– Component in surface cleaners, e. g. to degrease metal surfaces. 
– Component in hydraulic fluids. 
- Component in drilling and cutting oils (strong solvent).

2-BUTOXYETHANOL can be used in formulas of transparent disinfectants, multiuse type formulas and general degreasers. 

2-BUTOXYETHANOL acts as a cleaning agent in the solubilization of oily dirt, and as a surface active agent by lowering the surface tension of water.



2-BUTOXYETHANOL is a glycol ether with modest surfactant properties, which can also be used as a mutual solvent. 
In use since the 1930s, glycol ethers are solvents that dissolve both water-soluble and hydrophobic substances. 
Glycol ethers consist of two components, an alcohol and ether. 
According to the nature of alcohol, molecules of this class can be divided into two groups: E series and P series which correspond to ethylene and propylene respectively. 
Glycol ethers are selected for specific purposes, such as solubility, inflammability, and volatility.

Products that contain 2-BUTOXYETHANOL include acrylic resin formulations, asphalt release agents, firefighting foam, leather protectors, oil spill dispersants, degreaser applications, photographic strip solutions, whiteboard cleaners, liquid soaps, cosmetics, dry cleaning solutions, lacquers, varnishes, herbicides, latex paints, enamels, printing paste, and varnish removers, and silicone caulk. 
Products containing 2-BUTOXYETHANOL are commonly found at construction sites, automobile repair shops, print shops, and facilities that produce sterilizing and cleaning products. 
It is the main ingredient of many home, commercial and industrial cleaning solutions. 
Since the molecule has both non-polar and polar ends, butoxyethanol is useful for removing both polar and non-polar substances, like grease and oils.
It is also approved by the U.S. FDA to be used as direct and indirect food additives, which include antimicrobial agents, defoamers, stabilizers, and adhesives.


2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also a chemical intermediate and, as such, is a starting material in the production of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL acetate which is, itself, an excellent solvent.  
2-BUTOXYETHANOL  is also a starting material in the production of plasticisers by the reaction of phthalic anhydride. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also something that is used regularly in most households as it is a component of many home cleaning products.  
2-BUTOXYETHANOL provides very good cleaning power for domestic cleaning products and also provides the characteristic odour that we associate with many of these products.  
It also plays the same role in some industrial and commercial surface cleaners.


In the petroleum industry
2-Butoxyethanol is commonly produced for the oil industry because of its surfactant properties.

In the petroleum industry, 2-butoxyethanol is a component of fracturing fluids, drilling stabilizers, and oil slick dispersants for both water-based and oil-based hydraulic fracturing.
When liquid is pumped into the well, the fracturing fluids are pumped under extreme pressure, so 2-butoxyethanol is used to stabilize them by lowering the surface tension. 
As a surfactant, 2-butoxyethanol adsorbs at the oil-water interface of the fracture.
The compound is also used to facilitate the release of the gas by preventing congealing.
It is also used as a crude oil-water coupling solvent for more general oil well workovers.
Because of its surfactant properties, it is a major constituent (30–60% w/w) in the oil spill dispersant Corexit 9527, which was widely used in the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.


2-BUTOXYETHANOL 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. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also an efficient flow improver for urea, melamine and phenolic stoving finishes.
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also favoured in many products due to its mild odour. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL acts as a solvent and coupling agent in many waxes, resins, oils and textile dyes, and is regularly used in many industrial, commercial and household cleaning products, where it offers good cleaning power as well as the odour typically associated with such products.
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is an important starting material for a variety of syntheses, being one of the raw materials for the production of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL acetate and for the production of plasticizers by reaction with phthalic anhydride. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also formulated into insecticides, herbicides, agricultural pesticides and cosmetic products, and is a component in hydraulic fluids and cutting and drilling oils.



Safety
2-BUTOXYETHANOL has a low acute toxicity, with LD50 of 2.5 g/kg in rats.
Laboratory tests by the U. S. National Toxicology Program have shown that only sustained exposure to high concentrations (100-500 ppm) of 2-butoxyethanol can cause adrenal tumors in animals.
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) reports that 2-butoxyethanol is carcinogenic in rodents.
These rodent tests may not directly translate to carcinogenicity in humans, as the observed mechanism of cancer involves the rodents' forestomach, which humans lack.
OSHA does not regulate 2-butoxyethanol as a carcinogen.
2-Butoxyethanol has not been shown to penetrate shale rock in a study conducted by Manz.

Disposal and degradation
2-BUTOXYETHANOL can be disposed of by incineration. 
It was shown that disposal occurs faster in the presence of semiconductor particles.
2-BUTOXYETHANOL usually decomposes in the presence of air within a few days by reacting with oxygen radicals.
2-BUTOXYETHANOL has not been identified as a major environmental contaminant, nor is it known to bio-accumulate.
2-BUTOXYETHANOL biodegrades in soils and water, with a half life of 1–4 weeks in aquatic environments.


Production of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL:
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is produced by reacting ethylene oxide and normal butanol (n-butanol) using a catalyst.  
If the ratio of ethylene oxide to n-butanol is greater than one then di- and tri- ethylene glycol monoethers are also produced.


Below is the chemical equation for this reaction:

C2H4O + C4H9OH → C4H9OC2H4OH

2-BUTOXYETHANOL can also be produced through the etherification of butanol with 2-chloroethanol.


2-BUTOXYETHANOL is classed as an irritant, therefore, great precaution and care must be taken during the handling and distribution process.


Hazards 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL, if in contact with your eyes, skin, throat, can be harmful and cause serious irritation. 
Ingestion, and skin contact, can produce headaches, nausea, and dizziness. 
The wearing of PPE equipment is recommended to prevent the chances of skin content, swallowing and inhaling.

If contact is made, it should be immediately washed out of eyes, soapy water should be used to clean the skin and any clothing contacted should also be removed and replaced. 
Medical support must be obtained in all circumstances, especially if the chemical is swallowed.



Storage & Distribution 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL should be stored in a cool, dark place away from food and oxidants. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is transported in carbon steel, stainless steel or teflon containers and can be moved in bulk or drums. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL has a specific gravity of 0.9 and a flashpoint of 60 °C (closed cup) and has been classified as harmful but is not classified as dangerous for any form of transport.

If a leak or spillage has occurred, it should be immediately isolated (up to 50 meters in a 360 angle) and the source should be eliminated (only if possible, without risk). 
Personal protection equipment must be worn, specifically a respirator to filter out gases emitted from the spillage.

The leak should be soaked up by a non-combustible material such as earth and then collected in sealable containers. 
Wash away remainder with water. 
If it is a minor leak, then a more common approach can be taken including the use of kitchen towel. 
This should then be burned away from the spillage. The area must then be ventilated to ensure all vapours and gases are eliminated.



2-BUTOXYETHANOL has many uses, primarily as a solvent, in both the commercial and industrial industries.

Industry Uses
2-BUTOXYETHANOL usage is dominated by the paint industry which consumes approximately 75 % of all the BG produced. 
This is because 2-BUTOXYETHANOL 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. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is also a component of drilling and cutting oils and is a major component of Corexit 9527, which is an oil spill dispersant product.

The paints and coatings industry is the highest user of butyl as it acts as an excellent flow improver, regulator, and coalesce. 
Hence, several companies are using it in water-based paints. 
The demand for such paints is increasing worldwide because of their environmentally friendly nature. 
They are majorly applied on exterior walls of buildings. However, the high cost of raw materials and strong competition between renowned companies may hamper the butyl market growth in the upcoming years.

2-BUTOXYETHANOL also known as 2-Butoxyethanol is a colourless, slightly hygroscopic, neutral, high-boiling, low-volatility liquid with a mild odour that is used as a solvent and starting material for many reactions. 
In addition to that, it is used as a solvent for aqueous coating systems (water-based paints). 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL belongs to the family of glycol ethers. Glycol ethers consist of two components, an alcohol andether. 
According to the nature of alcohol, molecules of this class can be divided into two groups: E series and P series which correspond to ethylene and propylene respectively. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL belongs to E series of glycol ethers. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is miscible with water and common organic solvents in all proportions at room temperature. 
It shows the reactions typically shown by alcohols, such as esterification, etherification, oxidation and formation of acetates and like most ethers, it forms peroxides in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

2-BUTOXYETHANOL is a colourless, hygroscopic, neutral, high-boiling, low-volatility liquid with a mild odour that is used as a solvent and starting material for many reactions. 
It is also used as a solvent for water-based paints. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL belongs to the family of glycol ethers and has the ability to stabilize volatile compounds such as flavors and fragrances. 
The growth of water-based coatings that use glycol ethers has been one of the the major factor driving the growth of the 2-BUTOXYETHANOL market. 
Applications of 2-BUTOXYETHANOL is used as a solvent in ink and coating industry and as a solvent in lacquer thinners. 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is a low volatility solvent, thus it has the properties to extend the drying time of coatings and to increase their flow properties. 
It improves the brushability of certain paints and reduces their viscosity along with improvement in the flow of urea and melamine


2-BUTOXYETHANOL, also known as 2-Butoxyethanol, has the molecular formula BuOC2H4OH (Bu = CH3CH2CH2CH2). 
2-BUTOXYETHANOL is represented in a liquid state and is a natural compound. 
The fluid derives from glycol ethers and a butyl ether of ethylene glycol. 
Its odour is sweet and ether-like. The solvent is relatively cheap and not buoyant. 
It has the properties of a surfactant and hence, is used in many industrial and domestic products.

With the use of the compound, products like coatings, ink and water-based paint are being formed. 
The fluid extends the drying time of the products, as well as improves its flow. Moreover, flows of melamine, the solvent, also improve phenolic stoving finishes and urea.


2-BUTOXYETHANOL is a relatively moderate evaporating colorless and flammable liquid. It is a powerful solvent with coalescing properties. Due to its powerful solvency and equal balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic character, 2-BUTOXYETHANOL has a wide range of applications in different industries.
