Product overview
What is 3 Methoxy Butanol?3 Methoxy Butanol is used as a solvent or cosolvent in coatings, inks and adhesives. For instance, it is used in nitrocellulose brush lacquers to improve brushability and flow, and in alkyd paints to improve brushability. 3-Methoxy Butanol is used in conjunction with Butoxyl to achieve special effects through dissolving power, drying time and flow.
Why 3 Methoxy Butanol?Besides good dissolving power, 3 Methoxy Butanol as a low-volatility solvent has similar advantages to n-butanol. It is used in nitrocellulose brush lacquers to improve brush ability and flow. Small additions considerably reduce the viscosity of alkyd resin and oleo resinous paints and improve their brush ability. In conventional and aqueous paints, the addition of 3-methoxy butanol retards skinning For more information and about 3 Methoxy Butanol and its use in your product, please contact Celanese today.
