Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (DEGMBE, CAS 112-34-5) is a high-performance multifunctional industrial solvent and a crucial auxiliary in fine chemical processing, renowned for its excellent oil-water miscibility, high boiling point, and low volatility. As a green and low-VOC solvent, it boasts remarkable solvency power for various resins, coatings, and additives, while maintaining mild chemical properties that ensure compatibility with most material systems, making it an ideal choice for environmentally friendly and high-precision production processes.
Widely utilized across global industrial chains, DEGMBE is primarily applied in coating formulation (as a coalescent and diluent), electronic component cleaning (for precision degreasing and residue removal), ink manufacturing (as a solubilizer and viscosity regulator), and textile auxiliary production (for dye dissolution and penetration enhancement). It further supports key industries such as automotive coatings, electronic manufacturing, printing and packaging, architectural decoration, and textile printing and dyeing, playing an indispensable role in improving product quality and production efficiency.
Our DEGMBE product offers a full range of grade options (industrial grade, electronic grade, and food contact grade) to meet diverse application scenarios, with rigorous quality control systems ensuring ultra-low impurity content, stable physical and chemical properties, and consistent solvency performance. We provide reliable bulk supply capabilities, complete hazardous goods certification documents (including MSDS, UN packaging certification, and customs clearance materials), and customized logistics solutions tailored to the characteristics of flammable liquids. In addition, our professional technical team offers personalized support—such as formulation compatibility testing, usage dosage guidance, and safe storage solutions—to help optimize your production processes, reduce costs, and ensure operational safety.
