Frequently Asked Questions
What is Butyl Carbitol used for?
Butyl Carbitol is a slow-evaporating, high-boiling glycol ether. Buyers use it as a coalescing solvent in water-based paints, a coupling agent in industrial and household cleaners, and as a carrier in printing inks, brake and hydraulic fluids, and textile dyeing.
What is the CAS number and HSN code of Butyl Carbitol?
The CAS number of Butyl Carbitol is 112-34-5. The HSN code is 2909 49 00. Both are listed on our technical data sheet for this product (SPC-TDS-GLY-011).
Is Butyl Carbitol the same as Butyl Diglycol Ether or DEGBE?
Yes. Butyl Carbitol, Butyl Diglycol Ether and DEGBE are all names for the same chemical — Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether, CAS 112-34-5. Whichever name is on your requirement, it is the product we stock.
What is the difference between Butyl Carbitol and Butyl Cellosolve?
They are two different glycol ethers. Butyl Carbitol is Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (CAS 112-34-5), a slow-evaporating, high-boiling solvent. Butyl Cellosolve (CAS 111-76-2) is a separate product in our catalogue — we stock both, so quote the CAS number you need and we will match it.
What specification of Butyl Carbitol does SPC supply?
We supply against the manufacturer's certificate of analysis from INEOS Oxide (Lavera, France): Butyl Diglycol Ether content 99.0% wt minimum, relative density 0.952–0.955 at 20/20°C, colour 10 max (Pt-Co) and water 0.10% wt max. The full specification table is on our TDS, document SPC-TDS-GLY-011.
