ETHYLENE GLYCOL BUTYL ETHER Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Ethylene glycol butyl ether, also known as 2-butoxyethanol, is a colorless liquid with a mild odor, represented by the chemical formula C6H14O2. It is used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning products. Ethylene glycol butyl ether is relatively non-toxic but can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
