Butyl glycol is a clear, colorless oily liquid with a high boiling point, low volatility and slightly fruity odour. As with other glycol ethers, it is bifunctional, containing an ether and an alcohol group in the same molecule. It is completely miscible with water and a wide variety of organic solvents. This excellent miscibility makes it a versatile solvent and coupling agent offering excellent performance properties in a wide range of applications. Its bifunctional nature also means exhibiting the reactions typical of an alcohol, ie. esterification, etherification, oxidation and formation of an ether with acetates and alcoholates, which forms peroxide in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. Butyl glycol is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with normal butanol (n-butanol) in the presence of a catalyst. Butyl glycol is a flammable material. Keep the product and empty containers away from heat, sparks and flames.

Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol. It is an organic compound. It is commonly obtained by either; the ethoxylation reaction of butanol and ethylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst or the etherification of butanol with 2-chloroethanol. Its chemical formula is represented as C4H9OC2H4OH.
