Diethylene glycol dibutyl ether

Diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (CAS 112-73-2 ), commercially known as Dibutyl Carbitol, is a high-boiling glycol ether solvent used across industrial and specialty chemical applications. Its low volatility and strong solvency make it a preferred carrier in formulations.

Controlled evaporation and compatibility with resins or active components are critical procurement considerations for this material. In polymer and coatings systems, it functions as a coalescing solvent and plasticizer carrier, improving film formation.

It is used as a reaction medium and catalyst solvent in curing and cross-linking processes, particularly where thermal stability at elevated temperatures is required. This ensures consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

Specialty printing inks and electronic paste formulations rely on it as a high-boiling carrier to control rheology and drying profiles. This allows for precision in high-tech manufacturing and specialized printing applications.

In extraction and separation processes, its selective solvency supports liquid-liquid extraction of metal ions and organic compounds at industrial scale. This versatility makes it a staple in chemical processing and refining.

The product is supplied as a clear liquid in drum, IBC, and bulk quantities to meet various logistical needs. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications typically at 98% or higher.

High-purity grades are available for electronic and specialty chemical applications where trace contaminant limits are tightly controlled. These grades meet the rigorous demands of sensitive manufacturing and laboratory environments.
