How is Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) Produced?
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with an alcohol such as normal butanol (nbutanol) within a catalyst.
This process is called ethoxylation.
If the ratio of ethylene oxide to nbutanol 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

World production is estimated at between 300-500 KT per annum.
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) can also be produced through the etherification of butanol with 2-chloroethanol.

How is Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) Handled, Stored and Distributed?
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) is classed as an irritant, therefore, great precaution and care must be taken during the handling and distribution process.

Hazards of Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb)
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb), 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, Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) 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.
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) has a National Fire and Protection Association health rating of 3, indicating that it can cause serious and even permanent injuries in critical conditions.
A fire rating of 2 indicates that a modest amount of high heat exposure is required for ignition to ensue; a flame or spark will easily cause an ignition.

Storage & Distribution of Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb)
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) should be stored in a cool, dark place away from food and oxidants.
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) is transported in carbon steel, stainless steel or teflon containers and can be moved in bulk or drums.
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) 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.

How is Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb)Used?
Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb) has many uses, primarily as a solvent, in both the commercial and industrial industries.

Industry Uses
Butyl glycol usage is dominated by the paint industry which consumes approximately 75 % of all the BG produced. This is because it 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 Butyl CARBITOL Solvent (BuCb)'s high boiling point, textile dyes and as a component of hydraulic fluids.
