Butyl glycol (also known as BG, 2-butoxyethanol, glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, butyl cellosolve, butoxyethanol) is a clear, colourless, oily liquid with a unique sweet yet mild odour and has the formula C6H14O2. It is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol and is miscible with water and common organic solvents. It has been produced industrially for over half a century and is used primarily as a solvent in paints and surface coatings but also in inks and cleaning products.
\nButyl glycol is classed as an irritant, therefore, great precaution and care must be taken during the handling and distribution process.

\nButyl glycol is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with an alcohol such as normal butanol (nbutanol) within a catalyst. This process is called ethoxylation. If the ratio of ethylene oxide to nbutanol is greater than one then di- and tri- ethylene glycol monoethers are also produced.
