Description

Ethylene glycol dibutyl ether (EDBE) is a glycol ether with the chemical formula (C4H9OCH2)2O. It is a clear liquid that has an odor similar to that of acetone and diethyl ether. EDBE is soluble in water, but insoluble in organic solvents such as benzene or toluene. EDBE has been shown to have hydroxyl and ether groups, which are important for its chemical stability. The intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the ether oxygen atom is also an important factor in determining the structure of EDBE.
EDBE has been shown to be chemically stable at room temperature and can be found as a component of hydraulic fluids, paints, varnishes, lubricants, adhesives, cleaning agents, and degreasers.
