Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether. is versatile solvent of product obtains by reaction betweeen ethylene oxide and n-Butanol. Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether is chemically known as a Butyl Glycol, 1-n-Butoxy-2-hydroxyethane, n-butyl (2-hydroxyethyl) ether. Commercially it is known as a Butyl Cellosolve, which is a trademark of Union Carbide. ADVANCE PETROCHEMICALS LTD. is selling this product in brand name APISOLVE 118.
Applications:
Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) is employed primarily in the production of lacquers based on nitrocellulose, cellulose ethers and chlorinated rubber. Small quantities are also used combination lacquers. Solutions of nitrocellulose in Butyl Glycol may be diluted with large quantity of white spirit, aromatic hydrocarbons or ethanol without adversely affecting the film property. Small quantities of Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether improves both the flow and dilution capacity of the lacquers and also enhance the gloss of the resultant lacquer films.
Since Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) dries lacquer coatings very slowly, it is ideal for the preparation of brushing lacquers based on cellulose esters, cellulose ethers and chlorinated rubber. Even quite small additions of Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) to alkyd, the viscosity of the lacquer solution considerably reduce, thereby improving the brush-out property of such lacquers.
2-Butoxy Ethanol is a good intermediate solvent for use in mineral oil emulsion. Even small quantities of Butyl Glycol (2-Butoxy Ethanol) can disperse and stabilize such emulsion quite effectively.
APISOLVE 118 does not attack rubber.

Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether – DGMME
Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether, is a product of Ethylene Oxide and Methanol. Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether is chemically known as a Methyl Diglycol, 2-hydroxy-2-methoxy-diethyl ether. Commercially it is known as a Methyl Carbitol, which is a trademark of Union Carbide. Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether is an excellent solvent for the various resins & paste etc. ADVANCE PETROCHEMICALS LTD. is selling this product in the brand name APITOL 120.
Application:
Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol is a relatively non-volatile solvent and therefore it is included only in special lacquer formulations, principally nitrocellulose lacquers, to improve the properties of the lacquers. It can be stabilized with 2, 6-ditert-butyl-4-methylphenol (0.005%). Owning to its low volatility small quantity can be added to lacquer solutions. The dilution capacity of Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol is very good. This product is also used in aviation industry as FSII– Dicing – Anti Icing agent.
Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol does not attack rubber. APITOL 120 is also used in the printing ink, industry and in the production of ballpoint pen ink.
