Product Introduction & Applications
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, commonly known as BCS (Butyl Cellosolve), is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄O₂. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid and is widely used in industries such as coatings, inks, textile dyeing, pesticides, papermaking, and electroplating. Additionally, it serves as:

Paint stripper and wax remover in construction

Additive in metal cleaning agents

Emulsifier and dispersant in pesticides

Solvent in printing inks

Cleaning agent and solvent in the electronics industry

Detergent & Solvent Applications
In adhesives, it dissolves viscous components to enhance bonding strength and flexibility.

In cleaning solutions, it effectively dissolves oil, grease, and other impurities for improved cleaning performance.

Dyeing Auxiliary
Primarily used as a dyeing assistant for cellulose fibers, ensuring uniform pigment dispersion, improving dyeing efficiency, and reducing pigment consumption.

With excellent solubility, it acts as a co-solvent for textiles, forming homogeneous mixtures with water and other solvents to enhance the solubility of textile auxiliaries.

Functions as an antistatic agent during fiber manufacturing to eliminate static electricity.
