What is Butyl Glycol?

Butyl Glycol, also known as 2-Butoxyethanol, is a clear, colorless organic solvent with a mild sweet odor. Its chemical formula is C₆H₁₄O₂, and it belongs to the glycol ether family. Known for its excellent solvency, low volatility, and ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar substances, Butyl Glycol is widely used in industrial and commercial applications. It is fully miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it incredibly versatile.
