Description
Dibutyl Carbitol (CAS 112-73-2) is a glycol ether solvent also known as Butyl Diglyme, Dibutyl Diglycol, and Bis(butoxyethyl)ether. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29091900. Its high boiling point and low volatility distinguish it from lighter glycol ether solvents in the same family.
In plastics and polymer processing, Dibutyl Carbitol functions as a reactive carrier solvent that supports catalyst activity and promotes crosslinking by improving resin compatibility and extending open time during cure. In food and flavor applications, it serves as a solvent carrier for flavorant systems where controlled release and stability are required.
Dibutyl Carbitol is supplied as a liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU procurement. Buyers should confirm supplier SDS documentation and purity grade specifications prior to ordering. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBC containers depending on order volume.
