2-(2-tert-butoxyethoxy)ethanol
CAS: 110-09-8 Chemical Formula:C8H18O3 Molecular Weight:162.23
Properties
2-(2-tert-butoxyethoxy)ethanol, abbreviated as DETB, has an extremely low odor and is an excellent low toxicity solvent that can dissolve both hydrophobic and water-soluble compounds. It is known as a "universal solvent". It has good solubility for coatings and resins, and exhibits good bonding performance with various resins. In addition, DETB also has excellent film-forming properties.
