What is Butyl Di Glycol Acetate (BDGA)?
Butyl Di Glycol Acetate (CAS 124-17-4) is a clear, high-boiling ester solvent with low volatility and mild odour. It is derived from butyl di glycol and acetic acid, offering excellent flow, leveling, and open time in coating systems. BDGA is particularly suitable for formulations requiring slow evaporation and high solvency for polar and non-polar resins.
Applications Across Industries
Printing Inks
Improves wetting and printability in flexographic and gravure inks.
Cleaning Compounds
Used in industrial and institutional cleaners for its solvency power and slower evaporation.
Resin Synthesis
Acts as a co-solvent or carrier fluid in specialty formulations.
