Frequent Uses
Solvents
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 its high boiling point, textile dyes and as a component of hydraulic fluids.
Petroleum industry
It is also a component of drilling and cutting oils and is a major component of Corexit 9527, which is an oil spill dispersant product.
Cleaners and degreasers
Used regularly in many home cleaning products. It provides excellent cleaning power for domestic cleaning products and also provides the characteristic odour associated with them. It also plays the same role in some industrial and commercial surface cleaners.
