Butyl Acetate
Medium-evaporating ester solvent, valued in coatings for improving leveling and reducing moisture blushing in lacquers. It efficiently dissolves nitrocellulose, acrylic, and polyurethane resins. A common component of thinners for wood finishes and automotive refinishing.
Butyl Glycol
Glycol ether with excellent coupling power between water and organic solvents. It is a classic component of concentrated degreasers and multi-purpose cleaners, and acts as a tail solvent in water-based paints, improving film formation. Its dual affinity makes it highly efficient in industrial cleaning formulations.
Calcium Hypochlorite
Solid source of available chlorine used in the disinfection of water and surfaces. It offers greater storage stability than liquid chlorine solutions, which makes it practical for remote plants and swimming pools. Its use in contact with food or drinking water must comply with the applicable regulations.
Diethylene Glycol
Higher-boiling glycol used as a slow-drying solvent, plasticizer, and wetting agent in strictly industrial applications. It is used in the manufacture of resins, inks, and textile auxiliaries, and as a gas dehydrating agent in the oil industry. It must not be used in food, pharmaceutical, or personal care applications.
