Description
3-Butoxypropanol (CAS 10215-33-5), also known commercially as Dowanol 37b and by the registry name 3-Butoxy-1-propanol, is a glycol ether solvent with the molecular formula C7H16O2. It carries no assigned E-code and is not classified under food additive frameworks.
In coatings and printing inks, 3-Butoxypropanol functions as a coalescing solvent, slowing evaporation rate to improve film formation and reduce surface defects. In industrial cleaning and degreasing formulations, its ether-alcohol structure enables it to solubilise both polar and non-polar soils, making it effective in automotive parts cleaning and adhesive residue removal.
3-Butoxypropanol is supplied as a liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm supplier REACH compliance documentation and Safety Data Sheet availability. Standard packaging formats for industrial supply typically include drums and intermediate bulk containers.
