2-butoxyethanol is a primary alcohol that is ethanol in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a butoxy group. A high-boiling (171ºC) colourless liquid, it is used as a solvent for paints and inks, as well as in some dry cleaning solutions. It has a role as a protic solvent. It is a primary alcohol and a glycol ether.
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether appears as a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 160°F. Irritates skin and eyes and may be toxic by ingestion. Used as a solvent and to make paints and varnish.

| EB is mainly used as the solvent for nitrocellulose, synthetic resin, painting, enamel, grease and paint remover. It is used as medicine extractor in pharmacy industry and resin plasticizer in plastic industry, fiber lubricator in textile industry and dispersing agent of chemical fiber oil reagent. It can also be used as dispersing agent of pesticide, solvent for dry cleaning and cutting oil and organic synthetic intermediate, assistant solvent of mineral oil emulsion and analysis reagent. |
| DB is mainly used in PVC stabilizer; widely used in electronic chemical cleanser; used as solvent for paint, printing ink, stamp-pad ink, oil and resin; as metal detergent, paint remover, lubricant remover, detergent for Auto engine, dry cleaning solvent, epoxy resin solvent, medicine extractor; as stabilizer of latex paint, evaporation suppressant of aircraft paint, surface improving agent for baking enamel of high temperature, etc.; as intermediate in plasticizer, diluent for hydraulic brake fluid. It is also used to produce piperonylic butoxy compounds. |
| TB, a good solvent of high boiling point, can be used as solvent and colorant; as metal cleanser in metal surface processing to get rid of oil or paint stains; as cleanser for integrated circuit and electronic elements; as dispersing agent for pesticide; as intermediate of organic synthesis; as non-irritant household cleaning agent with moderate property; as wetting agent for fiber and resin plasticizer. It is also used to make products of upscale lubricating grease, and used as diluent of base liquid for motor vehicle brake fluid. |
| Multi-ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is mainly used as diluent of motor vehicle brake fluid with high boiling point, low volatile loss and good fluidity at low temperature. It can also be synthesized into polyethylene butyl ether. |
