3-Butoxy-1-propanol
Description
3-Butoxy-1-propanol (CAS 10215-33-5), also marketed as Dowanol 37B, is a glycol ether-type solvent used across cleaning, coatings, and printing applications. It combines slow evaporation with strong solvency to support formulation stability.
This chemical supports surface wetting in demanding industrial processes. In home care and industrial cleaning concentrates, it improves soil release and helps maintain clarity in aqueous formulations at low use levels.
Coatings formulators use it as a coalescing aid and coupling solvent in waterborne systems. In these environments, controlled evaporation reduces surface defects in architectural and industrial finishes during the drying phase.
In printing inks, it supports pigment dispersion and flow control across flexographic and gravure processes. Adhesive and sealant manufacturers incorporate it to adjust open time and improve substrate adhesion in solvent-borne systems.
3-Butoxy-1-propanol is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for high-volume buyers. It is typically offered at technical grade for industrial use.
The material meets standard purity specifications suitable for industrial and cleaning formulations. Buyers should confirm purity levels and water content specifications with suppliers when sourcing for coatings or printing applications.
Consistency is critical in high-performance applications where chemical stability is required. Our logistics network ensures reliable delivery of this solvent to meet your specific production schedules and inventory requirements.
