Application


  • Biopolymeric Anticorrosion Coatings from Cellulose Nanofibrils and Colloidal Lignin Particles.: This study describes the development of a novel anticorrosion coating made from biopolymers, including a discussion on the use of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether as a solvent to disperse components uniformly (Dastpak et al., 2021).

  • The investigation of structural and thermosensitive properties of new phosphazene derivatives bearing glycol and amino acid.: This research article explores the properties of phosphazene derivatives that incorporate glycol structures, detailing methods like NMR and IR spectroscopy where diethylene glycol monobutyl ether may be employed as a solvent in the synthesis process (Uslu and Güvenaltın, 2010).

  • Diethylene glycol mono butyl ether concentrations in room air from application of cleaner formulations to hard surfaces.: This study measures the air concentrations of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether in indoor environments following its application in cleaning agents, demonstrating its volatility and potential inhalation exposure during use (Gibson et al., 1991).
