| Introduction | ethylene glycol butyl ether is one of the important derivatives of ethylene oxide (EO), is a green solvent, colorless liquid, molecular weight 118.17, distillation range 163~174 ℃, not volatile, relative density 0.9019, boiling point 171.1 ℃, flash point 60.5 ℃, toxic, miscible with water, linseed oil hydrocarbon solvent, has a strong ability to dissolve and synthetic rubber, suitable for natural rubber and synthetic rubber solvents, also used as rosin, shellac, Shell resin and oxygen indene resin, solvents for ethyl fiber and nitrocellulose. |
| physical properties | ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is a colorless flammable liquid with a moderate ether odor. |
| Application | ethylene glycol Butyl Ether has both an ether bond and a hydroxyl group in its molecule, this unique property makes it not only soluble organic molecules, synthetic or natural polymer compounds, but also miscible with water or water-soluble compounds to varying degrees, so it is widely used as coatings, use of ink, cleaning agent, drug extractant, etc. |
| Application | ethylene glycol butyl ether is one of the important industrial derivatives of epoxy compounds, and is an extremely important fine chemical. Because of its chemical structure has two strong dissolving function groups-ether bond and hydroxyl, the former has lipophilic, can dissolve hydrophobic compounds, the latter has hydrophilic, can dissolve hydrophilic compounds, therefore, it has a strong ability to dissolve and is known as a "universal solvent. used as paint, ink solvent, metal cleaning agent components and raw materials of dye dispersant mainly used as nitrocellulose, spray paint, quick-drying paint, varnish, enamel and paint remover solvent. It can also be used as fiber wetting agent, pesticide dispersant, resin plasticizer, organic synthesis intermediate. Reagents for the determination of iron and molybdenum. An auxiliary solvent for improving the emulsifying properties and dissolving the mineral oil in the soap solution. used as a reagent and solvent for the determination of iron and molybdenum, also used for the separation of calcium and strontium in nitrate to be used as a coating, printing ink, stamp printing ink, oil, resin solvent metal detergent, paint stripper, lubricating oil, automotive engine detergent, dry cleaning solvent, epoxy resin solvent, drug extractant; Used as a stabilizer for latex paint, aircraft paint evaporation inhibitor, surface processing of high temperature baking enamel. |
| production method | raw materials: Ethylene Oxide, n-butanol, phenol, butanol, methanol, copper sulfate, potassium hydroxide, caustic soda, benzene monochloride, ethanol production method: by the addition of ethylene oxide and n-butanol derived. First, the butanol is added to the boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex, and then ethylene oxide is introduced at 25-30 ° C., and then the temperature is automatically raised to about 80 ° C. To complete the addition reaction. The reaction product is neutralized and distilled to obtain a crude product after recovering butanol, and then fractionated to obtain a finished product. obtained by addition of ethylene oxide to n-butanol. N-butanol was added to a solution of boron trifluoride in diethyl ether at 20 ° C., and ethylene oxide was introduced with stirring. As the reaction proceeded, the temperature rose automatically, and after the temperature dropped, it was left for three days. The crude product was obtained by neutralization with potassium hydroxide methanol solution to pH = 8. After adding a little p-aminophenol to the crude product, Fractionation was carried out, and the fractions at 166-170 ℃ were collected to obtain the finished product. Industrial production can be used in high temperature and high pressure (reaction temperature 180-250 ℃, pressure 2.1-4.6MPa) under the method of non catalytic reaction, reaction 6H. It is also possible to use a base catalyst at approximately atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures. |
