Features Of Dow DGBE Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Solvent

  1. Low volatility with high boiling point (230°C), enabling extended wet-edge time in coatings and inks.

  2. Excellent solvency for resins including acrylics, alkyds, and cellulose esters without excessive odor or toxicity.

  3. Good water miscibility and coalescing ability, enhancing film formation in water-reducible systems.

  4. Low surface tension and high flash point (104°C, closed cup), supporting safer handling and regulatory compliance.

  5. Stable under alkaline and mildly acidic conditions, ensuring formulation robustness in industrial cleaners and paint removers.

Typical Applications Of Dow DGBE Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Solvent

  1. Architectural and industrial water-based coatings, including interior/exterior paints and primers.

  2. Flexographic and gravure inks for packaging, especially where low migration and good pigment dispersion are required.

  3. Industrial cleaning formulations for metal parts, electronics, and precision equipment.

  4. Adhesives and sealants requiring controlled evaporation rate and substrate wetting.

  5. Paint strippers and graffiti removers leveraging its strong solvency for cured films.
