BUTOXYETHYL ACETATE

CAS NUMBER: 112-07-2

EC NUMBER: 203-933-3

MOLECULAR FORMULA: C8H16O3

MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 160.21


Butoxyethyl acetate is one of the components of Jiashi melon juice and was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) analysis. 
Butoxyethyl acetate stimulated the release of prostaglandin E(2), an arachidonic acid metabolite, in human epidermal keratinocytes.
Butoxyethyl acetate is a chemical commonly used as a solvent; it is the acetate of 2-butoxyethanol.


Butoxyethyl acetate (also known as 2-butoxyethyl acetate; ethylene glycol butyl ether acetate; and 2-butoxyethanol acetate) has the chemical formula C8H16O3, and is a clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid.  
Butoxyethyl acetate has a mild and pleasant ester odour and is only sparingly soluble in water but is miscible with many common organic solvents, for example, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and glycol ethers.  


Butoxyethyl acetate is this solvent power, combined with its’ low volatility, that sees Butyl Glycol Acetate employed in many branches of industry.

Butoxyethyl acetate is ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate/ acetic acid-2-butoxyethyl ester/ 2-butoxyethyl acetate. 
Acts as a low volatility solvent for paints and printing inks. 
Possesses a faint ester odor, and good solvent power for numerous organic substances. 
Improves the gloss and flow of coatings. 


Also improves the flow and brushability of cellulose nitrate and cellulose ether lacquers and of paints formulated from chlorinated binders. 
Exhibits miscibility with most common organic solvents eg. alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and glycol ethers but sparingly soluble with water. 
Butoxyethyl acetate is used in flexographic, gravure and screen printing inks, for dyes used to print and color leather and textiles, for dyes in furniture polishes and wood stains.


USES:

Butoxyethyl acetate is a chemical that has good solvent power and it is this degree of solvency that sees Butyl Glycol Acetate employed in industry.  
The main use for it is in the coatings industry where it improves the gloss and flow of coatings that are baked at temperatures of 150-200 oC.  


Butoxyethyl acetate also improves the brushability and flow of cellulose nitrate and cellulose ether lacquers, and of paints formulated from chlorinated binders.  
Butoxyethyl acetate is also a good solvent for urethane finishes and is a film coalescing aid for polyvinyl latex acetate.
Butoxyethyl acetate also has applications in the printing industry where it is a component of flexographic, gravure, and screen-printing inks.  


This is because of the slow evaporation rate of Butyl Glycol Acetate which makes it ideal for use in these specialty printing inks.
Butoxyethyl acetate is also found in in ball pen pastes, and in dyes that are employed in furniture polishes and wood stains, and in dyes used to print and colour textiles.
Butoxyethyl acetate is also employed in the cleaning industry where it is a component in some ink and spot removal formulations.

 

APPLICATIONS:

Butoxyethyl acetate is used in a variety of industries as a solvent for nitrocellulose and multicolored lacquers, varnishes, enamels, and epoxy resin. 
Butoxyethyl acetate is useful as a solvent because of its high boiling point. 
Butoxyethyl acetate is also used in the manufacture of polyvinyl acetate latex. 
Butoxyethyl acetate is an ingredient in ink removers and spot removers.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

-Appearance: clear colorless liquid    
-Purity(%): 99.5 min    
-Distillation range(°C/760mmHg): 188.0-195.0    
-Moisture (KF)%≤: 0.05 
-Acidity (as HAC)%≤: 0.03    
-Specific gravity(d420): 0.942±0.005    
-Color(Pt-Co)≤:    10    


PRODUCTION:

The first stage in the production of Butoxyethyl acetate is to react ethylene oxide with anhydrous n-butyl alcohol.  
The product of this is Butoxyethyl acetate ether which is then reacted with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or acetic acid chloride, to form ethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, otherwise known as Butoxyethyl acetate.


REACTIVITY PROFILE:

Butoxyethyl acetate is incompatible with the following: Oxidizers. 
Butoxyethyl acetate is an ether-alcohol derivative. 
The ether being relatively unreactive. 


Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. 
They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. 
Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. 


Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. 
They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

STORAGE:

Butoxyethyl acetate is stable under standard conditions and has a specific gravity of 0.9422 and a Flash point of 71.1o C (closed cup).  
Butoxyethyl acetate should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area that is away from all possible sources of ignition, and the container should be tightly sealed until ready for use.


Butoxyethyl acetate is usually transported in carbon steel, or stainless steel, drums or in tank cars.  
Butoxyethyl acetate is not regulated for transport but is Flammable and should also be labelled as Xn, as it is Harmful when ingested. 

SAFETY:

Butoxyethyl acetate will react strongly with oxidizers. 
Butoxyethyl acetates safety profile is similar to 2-butoxyethanol.
People can be exposed to 2-butoxyethanol acetate in the workplace by breathing it in, swallowing it, skin absorption, or eye contact. 
Symptoms of exposure include irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, and throat, hemolysis (bursting of red blood cells), hematuria (blood in the urine), central nervous system depression, headache, and vomiting.


Chronic exposure can cause kidney damage, liver damage, and blood disease.
People who work in printing, silk-screening, automobile repair, spray-painting, and furniture production may be exposed to 2-butoxyethanol acetate in the workplace.
People who do not work with 2-butoxyethanol acetate can be exposed to it in small amounts by touching or breathing in fumes from household cleaners.
