In the dynamic world of printing inks, solvent selection is a critical factor that dictates ink performance, print quality, and application versatility. 2-Butoxyethyl Acetate (CAS 112-07-2), also known as Butyl Glycol Acetate (BGA), has emerged as a preferred solvent for a wide range of ink formulations due to its exceptional properties. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier of this chemical intermediate in China, we are dedicated to providing ink manufacturers with high-purity, reliable solutions.

Why 2-Butoxyethyl Acetate for Inks?
2-Butoxyethyl Acetate is a glycol ether ester that offers a unique combination of characteristics highly beneficial for ink production. Its excellent solvency allows it to effectively dissolve a variety of resins, pigments, and dyes, ensuring uniform dispersion and vibrant color rendering. This is crucial for achieving sharp, consistent prints across different substrates.

The slow evaporation rate of 2-Butoxyethyl Acetate is another key advantage. It provides adequate drying time, preventing premature drying on printing equipment such as screens or rollers, which can lead to clogging and printing defects. This controlled drying also contributes to better ink transfer and film formation on the substrate, resulting in enhanced print durability and gloss.

Furthermore, its low volatility and relatively mild odor improve the working environment for printing operations, aligning with increasing demands for safer industrial chemicals. When you choose to buy 2-Butoxyethyl Acetate from our China facility, you are investing in a product that meets high purity standards, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch quality essential for high-grade ink applications.

Key Applications in the Ink Industry:

  • Screen Printing Inks: Its solvency and controlled drying are ideal for screen printing applications, ensuring smooth ink transfer and sharp line definition.
  • Gravure and Flexographic Inks: Provides excellent pigment wetting and resin solubility for high-quality printing on flexible packaging and labels.
  • Specialty Inks: Used in inks for automotive paints, refrigerator finishes, and other demanding applications where durability and finish are critical.
  • Inkjet Inks: Its compatibility and solvency make it a valuable component in certain inkjet ink formulations.
