Application

Triethylene glycol monobutyl ether (TEGMBE) can be used as a solvent:
  • In the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method.
  • in the removal of CO2 due to its solubilize CO2.

It can also be used as a reactant in the preparation of polyether adducts of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato)barium.
