Description
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is colorless low volatile liquid, with slight smell and bitter taste, soluble in Ethanol, ether, toluene, dichloromethane, insoluble in water.
3-Butoxy-1-propanol, also known as 3-Butoxy-1-propanol, is a useful research compound.
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether molecular formula is C7H16O2 and its molecular weight is 132.2 g/mol.
The purity is usually 95%.
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether are a group of solvents based on alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol commonly used in paints and cleaners.
These solvents typically have a higher boiling point, together with the favorable solvent properties of lower-molecular weight ethers and alcohols.
The word "Cellosolve" was registered in 1924 as a United States trademark by Carbide & Carbon Chemicals Corporation for "Solvents for Gums, Resins, Cellulose Esters, and the Like".
The first one was ethyl cellosolve (ethylene glycol monoethyl ether), with the name now generic[citation needed] for glycol ethers.
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is colorless low volatile liquid, with slight smell and bitter taste, soluble in Ethanol, ether, toluene, dichloromethane, insoluble in water.
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is widely used as solvent of Lacquer, paint, resins, dyes, oils and lubricants, as coupling dispersing agent.
Glycol ethers are either "e-series" or "p-series" glycol ethers, depending on whether they are made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.
Typically, e-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while p-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.
Both E-series glycol ethers and P-series glycol ethers can be used as intermediates that undergo further chemical reactions, producing glycol diethers and glycol ether acetates.
P-series glycol ethers are marketed as having lower toxicity than the E-series.
Most glycol ethers are water-soluble, biodegradable and only a few are considered toxic.
One study suggests that occupational exposure to glycol ethers is related to low motile sperm count, a finding disputed by the chemical industry.
Uses:
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is colorless low volatile liquid, with slight smell and bitter taste, soluble in Ethanol, ether, toluene, dichloromethane, insoluble in water.
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is widely used as solvent of Lacquer, paint, resins, dyes, oils and lubricants, as coupling dispersing agent.
The longer C4 alkyl carbon chain in propylene glycol n-butyl ether (PnB) affords more organic solvency as compared to the shorter methyl side chain group found in dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPM).
Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether is a better choice for a coalescent solvent than the DPM since the DPM solvent is completely water soluble.
Complete water solubility limits the all important organic solubility necessary for good latex film formation.
Propylene series glycol ethers are used in surface coatings, leather, pesticides, electrical, industrial cleaners, resins, and printing inks; Used as a coupling agent and solvent (degreasers, paint removers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners), coalescent (latex coatings), coupling agent (water-based agricultural formulations), and chemical intermediate (epoxides, acid ester derivatives, solvents, and plasticizers); [OECD SIDS: Propylene Glycol Ethers - 2003]
