Diethylene glycol (DEG) monobutyl ether, scientifically known as 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy) ethanol is an organic, flammable,colorless, odorless liquid having high boiling point. It is soluble in several organic solvents, including benzene, ethanol, acetone, and others.Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether is manufactured by the reaction of ethylene oxide and n-butanol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. This organic liquid is majorly used as solvent for varnishes and paints and also in the chemical industry. DEG monobutyl ether has the ability to remove both water-soluble and water-insoluble greases and oils from surfaces.Therefore, it is extensively used in the production of detergents and other cleaning agents and also in the textile industry.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
The diethylene glycol monobutyl ether market has been positively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic to a great extent.
Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis
The rapid industrialization across the globe has increased the applications for coatings, paints, and cleaners in the market. The growth in urbanization around the world has increased the number of construction activities and the application of paints and coatings. This has resulted in the escalation in demand for diethylene glycol monobutyl ether from the paints and coatings industry. On the other hand, DEG monobutyl ether also has the ability to remove grease and oil from the surface.Therefore, it is extensively used for formulating cleaning agents and detergents. Major companies, such as Procter and Gamble Co., have started to conductdomestic in-house tests to determine the appropriate concentration of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether in surface cleaners. It is also employed as a wetting-out agent in the textile industry. However, the effects of the compound on human body, such as muscle pain and low blood pressure, on prolonged exposure might act as a restraining factor for the market.
The market in North America region holds a major share of the global diethylene glycol monobutyl ether market,owingto high demand for DEG monobutyl ether as a cleaning agent in detergent industries. The market in the Asia-Pacific region is also expected to grow at a rapid pace due to the growing demand for DEG monobutyl ether in the production of paints and coatings used in the construction sector.
