1. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether often used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and inks. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether helps dissolve the various components of these products, ensuring they can be applied smoothly and evenly. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether also improves the flow and leveling properties of the paint or ink.
2. In the cleaning industry, Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether can be a part of industrial cleaning formulations. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether helps dissolve grease, oil, and other stubborn contaminants.
3. And in the manufacturing of some plastics and resins, Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether can act as a processing aid to help with the shaping and forming of the materials.
1. Temperature
Keep Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether at a moderate temperature, around 10 - 30°C (50 - 86°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold as it can affect the chemical's stability.
2. Sealed Container
Use an airtight container. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether chemical is volatile, and an airtight seal will prevent evaporation and keep out moisture and contaminants.
3. Away from Ignition Sources
Since it's flammable, store Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether far away from open flames, sparks, and other potential ignition sources.
4. Separation from Incompatible Substances
Don't store Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether near strong oxidizing agents, acids, or bases as they can react with it.
