Product Introduction

Butyldiglycol (BDG / Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether) – High Purity Solvent Manufacturer

1. Product Introduction

Butyldiglycol, commonly known as BDG, is also named Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether or Butyl Carbitol (CAS: 112-34-5, EC: 203-961-6). It is a high-performance, low-volatility glycol ether solvent with a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid appearance. Featuring excellent hydrophilic and lipophilic dual solubility, stable chemical properties, low evaporation rate and superior surface activity, BDG is one of the most versatile industrial solvents in global fine chemical industries. It can be fully dissolved in water, alcohols, ketones, esters and most organic solvents, delivering outstanding dissolving, wetting, dispersing and film-forming auxiliary effects. Our premium industrial-grade Butyldiglycol adopts advanced catalytic synthesis and precise distillation purification technology, with ultra-low impurity content and stable batch consistency, fully complying with international industrial production and export standards, widely serving coating, ink, textile, cleaning and chemical synthesis fields worldwide.
