Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate (DBAC)

CAS Number

124-17-4

Synonyms

2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate BUTYL CARBITOL ACETATE Butoxyethoxyethyl acetate

Description

DBAC has high-boiling point and low odor. It is mainly used as the high boiling point solvent for high-temperature enamel or printing ink; as adhesive of PVC; as auxiliary coalescing agent of emulsion paint. Due to its slow speed of volatilization and lower solubility, it can be used as the solvent of silk screen printing ink and polyphenyl printing glaze. It can also be used as co-boiling reagent to separate the alcohol and ketone.
