Features Of Eastman DB Solvent Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether

  1. High solvency power for resins, cellulose esters, and dyes—enabling efficient formulation in demanding coating systems.

  2. Low volatility and high boiling point (230 °C), supporting extended open time and reduced solvent popping in air-dry applications.

  3. Excellent water-miscibility and coalescing performance, enhancing film formation in waterborne acrylic and vinyl emulsions.

  4. Low odor and favorable toxicological profile relative to aromatic hydrocarbons, supporting safer industrial handling.

  5. Good compatibility with common paint additives, including defoamers, rheology modifiers, and dispersants.

Typical Applications Of Eastman DB Solvent Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether

  1. Waterborne architectural coatings—including interior and exterior flat, eggshell, and semi-gloss paints.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates requiring balanced drying and flow.

  3. Inks for flexographic and gravure printing—particularly where substrate wetting and pigment dispersion are critical.

  4. Electronic cleaning formulations requiring residue-free evaporation and non-corrosive action on sensitive components.

  5. Specialty cleaning agents for precision optics, medical devices, and aerospace components.
