What is CAS number 112-07-2 BGA?
Basic Information
The chemical formula of Butyl Glycol Acetate (BGA) is C8H16O3, with a molecular weight of 162.23. Structurally, it contains ether bonds and hydroxyl groups, endowing it with some special physicochemical properties. 2-Butoxyethyl acetate is colorless, transparent liquid with a mild ether smell. It has a relatively high boiling point of 230.4°C, enabling it to remain stable in applications requiring a high -temperature environment. Its melting point is - 68.1°C, density is approximately 0.9536 g/cm³ (at 20°C), flash point is 100°C (closed cup), and auto - ignition temperature is 227°C.
What is butyl glycol acetate used for?
(I) Coatings and Inks Industry
1.Coating Film - Forming Aid: In water - based coatings, BGA solvent serves as a crucial film - forming aid. 2-Butoxyethyl acetate can lower the glass transition temperature of polymer particles, allowing the particles to fuse with each other at a lower temperature, thus forming a smooth and tough film. It can improve the leveling property of the coating, reduce surface defects such as orange peel and craters, and enhance the decorative and protective properties of the coating.
2.Ink Diluent and Leveling Agent: In the ink industry, BGA solvent is widely used as a diluent and leveling agent. It can adjust the viscosity of the ink, ensuring that the ink can be smoothly transferred onto the printing material during the printing process and maintaining an appropriate drying rate.
(II) Electronics Industry
1.Electronic Cleaner: Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate has good solubility and volatility, which can effectively remove impurities such as oil stains, dust, and flux residues on the surface of electronic components.
2.Photoresist Solvent: Butyl glycol acetate is often used as a solvent for photoresist. It can dissolve various components in the photoresist, giving it an appropriate viscosity and fluidity for uniform coating on the silicon wafer.
(III) Other Applications
1.Textile Dyeing and Printing Industry: In the textile dyeing and printing process, it can be used as a co - solvent and leveling agent for dyes. It can help dyes dissolve better in the dye solution.
2.Household Cleaners: The good solubility and mildness of BGA solvent make it applicable in some household cleaners. It can dissolve oil stains, dirt, and other substances, helping to remove stubborn stains in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
