Propylene glycol butyl ether is a kind of green environmental protection solvent, in paint, cleaning agent, ink, leather and other aspects have a wide range of uses. In the coating industry, it can be used as a solvent for alkyd resin, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polyester paint, etc. The paint film is smooth and smooth with good fastness. In the process of dye dissolution, it can replace alcohol solvent and is a good coupling agent. In ink production, propylene glycol ether is used, and some formulations can be changed to water soluble, which can reduce the toxicity of ink, improve the operating environment and improve the printing quality. Propylene glycol ether products can be prepared to concentrate all kinds of cleaning agents, good effect. In the new brake fluid, its content can be as high as 40%, is one of the main components of the brake fluid. In addition, propylene glycol ether can also be used in colorful coatings, photosensitive adhesives, PS plate cleaning, printing, electronic chemicals, jet engine fuel additives (water proofing agents), extraction agents and high boiling point solvents, etc.
