General description
Diethylene glycol butyl ether is a high boiling solvent, which can be used in coating industry. It can also serve as a dispersant in organosols and can also be used in preparation of plasticizers.
Application
- Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) by Colloidal Activated Carbon.: This study investigates the adsorption characteristics of PFAS by colloidal activated carbon, with a specific focus on the role of various solvents including diethylene glycol butyl ether. The research highlights the solvent′s effectiveness in enhancing adsorption efficiency (Hakimabadi et al., 2023).
- First Stage of the Development of an Eco-Friendly Detergent Formulation for Efficient Removal of Carbonized Soil.: This research explores the formulation of eco-friendly detergents, demonstrating the use of diethylene glycol butyl ether as a key solvent for effective soil removal. The study underscores its potential in creating sustainable cleaning products (Fernandes et al., 2022).
