Butoxypolyglycol (BPG)
An E-Series glycol ether used in brake fluids, mining fluids, asphalt additive, dust suppressant, heat captive fluids, coatings, and concrete anti-shrinking agent reduces surface tension and minimizes shrinkage/cracking as water evaporates from concrete.
Butoxytriglycol (BTG)
A low-volatility, high solvency glycol ether with excellent coupling properties. Used in drilling fluids, brake fluids, coatings and cleaners.
Butyl CARBITOL™ Solvent
A slow-evaporating, hydrophilic glycol ether with excellent coalescing and coupling power that offers strong solvency and chemical stability for a broad array of household products.
Butyl CELLOSOLVE™ Solvent
A fast-evaporating glycol ether with an excellent balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic character; excellent active solvency and coupling properties. It is a versatile solvent product with balance properties.
Ethoxypolyglycol (EPG)
A high boiling glycol ether.
Ethoxytriglycol (ETG)
A low-volatility, high solvency glycol ether with excellent coupling properties. The product's versatility is demonstrated by the variety of applications in which it may find use.
