It can be used in combination with Butyl CELLOSOLVE glycol ether to lower the evaporation rate and increase the hydrophobicity of the solvent package. Yet Butyl CARBITOL glycol ether offers 100% water solubility. It possesses powerful solvency, coalescing ability, high dilution ratio, low evaporation rate, low viscosity, wide range of applications. It is used in latex coalescent in water-based architectural and industrial coatings, coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, hard surface cleaners, and disinfectants, primary solvent in solvent-based silk screen printing inks, coupling solvent for resins and dyes in water-based printing inks, solvent for ball point and felt tip pen inks, and textile dyeing and printing, coalescent for latex adhesives, deactivator, stabilizer for agricultural pesticides.
