Application

2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate (Butyldiglycol acetate) may be used as a component to reduce the minimal film forming temperature (MTF) during poly(vinyl acetate)(PVAc) based composite film preparation. It may also be used during the formulation of thick film pastes of silver.

General description

2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate (Butyldiglycol acetate, BGDA) is a volatile organic compound that can be prepared by reacting diethylene glycol monobutyl ether with acetic acid using strongly acidic cationic exchange resin as catalyst.

2-Methoxyacetic and 2-ethoxyacetic acids are well known toxic metabolites of 2-alkoxyethanols. The use of 2-alkoxyethanols is now restricted, and the regulations have forced manufacturers to find substitutive solvents, 2-(2-alkoxyethoxy)ethanols. 2-(2-Alkoxyethoxy)ethanols resemble 2-alkoxyethanols, and their most hazardous similarity is their ability
