Sasol Butyl Triglycol Ether (BTGE)

Butyl triglycol ether of 70% mass purity. Butyl triglycol ether (BTG) has high dissolving power for cellulose nitrate, many synthetic, natural resins and dyestuffs. BTG is used typically in cutting and hydraulic oils, particularly in brake fluids, mining, oil field chemicals and textile dyes.
