Butoxyl
Butoxyl (3-Methoxy-n-Butylacetate) is a neutral colorless liquid with a faint odor. It is miscible with the common organic solvents and its solubility in water is very low. Butoxyl contains no ethanol and meets the requirements of DIN 53 246 (esters of acetic acid).
Besides good dissolving power, Butoxyl as a low-volatility solvent has similar advantages to n-butanol.
What is Butoxyl ?Because of its faint odor and excellent dilutability with ethanol and hydrocarbons, Butoxyl is highly suitable for brush-applied paints. It prevents the familiar blushing or milky opalescence of the drying paint films caused by thinners even when used in fairly large amounts.
Why Butoxyl ?Butoxyl 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.
