Where is 3-Butoxy-1-propanol used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning concentrates: improves soil release and maintains clarity in aqueous formulations at low use levels
• Coatings: coalescing aid and coupling solvent in waterborne systems
• Printing inks: pigment dispersion and flow control in flexographic and gravure processes
• Adhesives and sealants: adjusts open time and improves substrate adhesion in solvent-borne systems
• It combines slow evaporation with strong solvency.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity levels and water content specifications with suppliers when sourcing for coatings or printing applications.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade for industrial use
• Meets standard purity specifications for industrial and cleaning formulations
• Clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities; bulk tanker options for high-volume buyers
