Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (BCS / EB)

Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (butyl cellosolve, EB) is a widely used glycol ether coalescent and coupling solvent with a moderate evaporation rate and strong solvency for resins in both waterborne and solvent-borne systems.

Industry Applications

Architectural and industrial coatings, cleaners, inks, and dye solutions. Propylene-based glycol ethers (PM, PMA, DPnB) are alternatives where E-series restrictions apply.
