Butyl Carbitol is a slow-evaporating glycol ether prized as a coalescing solvent and coupling agent. Its high boiling point and strong solvency make it a workhorse in water-based paints, printing inks, and industrial cleaners.

Supreme Petro Chemicals supplies Butyl Carbitol from Chennai to coatings, ink, and cleaning-formulation manufacturers across South India.

What Is Butyl Carbitol?

Butyl Carbitol, chemically diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, has CAS number 112-34-5. It is a clear, high-boiling liquid (boiling point around 231°C) with low volatility and good solvency for resins, dyes, and oils. It is miscible with water and most organic solvents.

Industrial Applications

Paints and coatings: A coalescing aid in latex and water-based systems that improves film formation.
Printing inks: A slow solvent that controls drying and improves flow.
Industrial cleaners: A coupling solvent in degreasers and hard-surface cleaners.
Brake fluids and hydraulic fluids: A component in selected glycol-ether-based fluids.
Wood stains and varnishes: Improves penetration and open time.

Packaging and Supply

Butyl Carbitol is commonly supplied in drums and bulk packs. Because it is a relatively high-value glycol ether, share your monthly consumption, packing preference, and delivery location for accurate dispatch planning.
