2-Butoxyethanol (also known as BG, butyl glycol, glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) is an organic solvent with the formula C6H14O2. It has been produced commercially for over half a century where it is most commonly used in the paint industry. This is because it is a low volatility solvent and it can therefore both extend the drying times of coatings and improve their flow. Other applications include use as a solvent in printing inks and textile dyes and as a component of hydraulic fluids. It is also a component of drilling and cutting oils.
