Butyl Diglycol Acetate

Diethylene glycol n-butyl ether acetate [2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate]. Acts as a solvent, leveling agent and coalescent. Exhibits compatibility with numerous resins, dyes, waxes, fats and oils. Improves the flow out of many finishes, even in low concentrations. Hydrolyzes slowly in the presence of water but more rapidly in alkaline and acid media. May react with atmospheric oxygen to form peroxides. Exhibits free miscibility with most common organic solvents but limited miscibility with water. Lowers the initial viscosity of PVC plastisols to facilitate processing. Used for paints and lacquers (including emulsion paints and textured finishes) and printing inks (screen printing inks), dyes in wood stains and furniture polishes.

Compatible Products Based on HSP Distance

HSP distance provides an indication of compatibility. It is based upon the “like seeks like” principle. The smaller the distance between ingredients, the more compatible they are predicted to be.
