Product Description

Product Description

Basic Information

• Chemical Name: Diethylene Glycol Butyl Ether Acetate (DBEA)
• CAS Number: 124-17-4
• Molecular Formula: C21H24O4
• Molecular Weight: 232.31 g/mol
• Class: Ethylene glycol ether acetate, a high-boiling solvent (film-forming aid).

Physical Properties

Property	Value/Description
Appearance	Colorless transparent liquid with a mild ether odor
Density (25ºC)	0.945-0.955 g/mL
Boiling Point	246-250ºC
Flash Point (Closed Cup)	118ºC (Fire and explosion precautions required)
Solubility	Slightly soluble in water (≈0.3 g/100 mL at 25ºC); miscible with ethanol, acetone, toluene, etc.
Volatility Rate	Low (Approximately 1/20 of butyl acetate)

Applications

1. Paint and Ink Industry
   • Film-Forming Aid:
     • Used in water-based coatings (e.g., acrylic emulsions, latex paints) to lower the minimum film-forming temperature (MFFT), promote film formation at low temperatures, and improve coating gloss and adhesion.
     • As a high-boiling solvent in solvent-based coatings to regulate volatility and prevent "blistering" or "orange peel" effects.
   • Ink Solvent:
     Enhances pigment dispersion and ink fluidity in printing inks (especially flexographic and gravure inks), suitable for plastic and metal substrates.
2. Electronics and Photoresists
   • Serves as a photoresist solvent in precision coating processes for semiconductor manufacturing, requiring high purity (low metal ion content).
3. Cleaning Agents and Paint Strippers
   • As a coupling agent in industrial cleaners to dissolve oils, resins, and other contaminants, ideal for precision machinery parts.
   • Aids in dissolving old paint films in paint strippers to improve stripping efficiency.
4. Textiles and Leather
   • Solvent for textile auxiliaries (e.g., softeners, dye carriers) to ensure uniform dispersion.
   • Adjusts film-forming properties in leather finishing agents to enhance coating flexibility.
5. Other Uses
   • High-boiling solvent in cosmetics (e.g., nail polish) to delay evaporation and improve application feel (note: ethylene glycol ethers may have health risks; follow safety limits).
   • Solvent in pesticide emulsifiable concentrates to enhance active ingredient solubility.

Advantages, Disadvantages, and Safety

• Advantages:
  • Low Volatility: Suitable for systems requiring long-term liquid stability (e.g., baking coatings).
  • Strong Solvency: Effective for acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane resins.
  • Good Compatibility: Mixes with water and various organic solvents, facilitating formulation.
• Disadvantages:
  • Potential Toxicity: While DBEA has relatively low toxicity compared to early ethylene glycol ethers (e.g., ETB, EGME), follow safety guidelines.
  • Environmental Concerns: Some regulations (e.g., EU REACH) restrict ethylene glycol ethers; monitor updated standards.
• Safety Data:
  • Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 for rats ≈4,000 mg/kg (low toxicity).
  • Irritation: Mild skin and eye irritation; high vapor concentrations may irritate the respiratory tract.
  • Protective Measures: Wear gloves and goggles; ensure good ventilation; avoid prolonged contact.

Storage and Transportation

• Storage:
  Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from fire sources, oxidizers, and direct sunlight.
• Shelf Life:
  Approximately 2 years unopened; after opening, use promptly and reseal to prevent moisture absorption or oxidation.
• Transportation:
  Classified as a flammable liquid (UN No.: 1993, PG III). Transport in compliance with the IMDG Code and local hazardous materials regulations.
