Methyl diethylene glycol tert-butyl ether (DETB)
Profile
Diethylene glycol tert-butyl ether (DETB) is an environmentally friendly solvent with low irritation, very low odor, low toxicity, and low photochemical reactivity. It is mild to skin irritation, miscible with most organic solvents, and can dissolve amino/nitro/alkyd/acrylic resins. Good compatibility with water, miscible with water at room temperature (25°C). It is also a good surfactant, widely used in coatings, inks, cleaning agents, fiber wetting agents, plasticizers, organic synthesis intermediates, paint strippers, surfactants and other fields.
