Ethonas EB, Ethonas DB & Ethonas B260
Butyl Glycol Ethers are clear, colourless liquids with a syrupy consistency, absorbs moisture, dissolves in water, ethanol, acetone and slightly in ether. The main use for glycol ethers is as solvents for formulations such as paints, inks, and cleaning fluid applications. Glycol ethers, with both an ether and alcohol functional group in the same molecule, are one of the most versatile classes of organic solvents. PCG produces Ethonas EB, Ethonas DB and B260
