solvent industries in Iran, provides high-quality Butyl Glycol (BG) in the shortest possible time.<br \/>\nFor purchasing, pricing, and datasheet requests, please contact our experts at 021-59236.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Butyl Glycol?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Butyl Glycol is a clear, oily, colorless liquid with a mild ether-like odor and low volatility.<br \/>\nIt is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and n-butanol in the presence of a catalyst.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This compound is hygroscopic and miscible with water, ketones, alcohols, ethers, paraffins, and aromatic hydrocarbons at room temperature.<br \/>\nIt is a neutral compound with a high boiling point, low volatility, and a mild odor, commonly used as a solvent and as a starting material for various syntheses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Butyl Glycol has been commercially produced for over half a century, and due to its versatility, it is considered one of the high-volume industrial chemicals, with global production estimated between 300\u2013500 kilotons per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It acts as an excellent coalescing solvent in water-based coating systems (aqueous paints), being completely miscible with both water and most common organic solvents at room temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chemical Structure and Formula<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Molecular Formula: C\u2086H\u2081\u2084O\u2082<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Composed of 6 carbon atoms, 14 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen

are the most recognized manufacturers of Butyl Glycol worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications of Butyl Glycol<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> In the Paint and Coating Industry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The primary application of Butyl Glycol is as a solvent in paints and coatings.<br \/>\nIts low volatility and ability to improve flow and leveling make it particularly useful in brush-applied paints.<br \/>\nIt enhances paint smoothness, reduces film thickness, and controls drying time, improving the overall finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is used in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spray paints<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick-drying lacquers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Water-based paints<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Latex coatings<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> In Household Cleaning Products<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Butyl Glycol is commonly found in glass cleaners, liquid soaps, and multi-purpose cleaning sprays due to its excellent degreasing power and ability to dissolve oils and grease.<br \/>\nIt also imparts a characteristic odor to many household cleaning formulations.<br \/>\nAdditionally, it is used in industrial and commercial cleaners and in adhesives for food packaging materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> In the Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Butyl Glycol is widely used as an ingredient in skincare and cosmetic formulations, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cleansers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Serums<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Moisturizers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sunscreens<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Peel-off masks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mascaras<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>It enhances skin hydration, improves product absorption, and helps maintain a youthful appearance by retaining skin moisture.<br \/>\nThe Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel has confirmed that concentrations up to 10% are safe for use in hair and nail care products.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> In the Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Due to its ability to reduce surface tension, Butyl Glycol is used to stabilize fluids under high pressure.<br \/>\nAs a surfactant, it is absorbed by both oil and water phases, helping to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prevent gas accumulation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Facilitate gas dispersion<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Stabilize drilling fluids<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Aid oil extraction processes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Prevent gas hydrate
