Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (BCS), also known as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and 2-butoxyethanol, has a chemical formula of C6H14O2 and is an organic compound. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether appears as a colorless and transparent liquid with a moderate ether smell. It is soluble in organic solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, water, benzene, methanol, acetone, and ether. As an important derivative of ethylene oxide, the molecular structure of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether contains both ether bonds and hydroxyl groups. It has excellent properties and has broad application prospects in the fields of synthetic resins, biomedicine, coatings, pesticides, synthetic fibers, etc.

As a green and environmentally friendly solvent, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether has a wide range of uses. In the field of synthetic resins, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether can be used as a resin plasticizer, and synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polystyrene are its end products; in the field of biomedicine, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether can be used Used as a drug extraction agent; in the field of coatings, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether can improve the drying speed and antifreeze effect of coatings. The coating field is the largest demand end for ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, accounting for nearly 70% of the demand.

According to the “2023-2028 China Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (BCS) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》shows that my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether industry started late and did not achieve large-scale production until 2008. In recent years, with the improvement of the technical level of local enterprises, the localization process of my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether has accelerated, but high-end demand still relies on imports. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, my country’s import volume of ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether will reach 179,000 tons in 2022; its export volume will reach 20,000 tons. The main importing countries and regions of my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether include South Korea, the United States, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.

There are few ethylene glycol monobutyl ether manufacturers in my country. Jiangsu Dana Chemical Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yida Chemical Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Huatuo Chemical Co., Ltd. are the main players in my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether market. Among them, Jiangsu Dana Chemical Co., Ltd. is the largest manufacturer of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in my country. After years of development, Dana Chemical’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether production capacity has reached the first place in the world. However, with the adjustment of industrial structure, its products began to be converted to self-use, resulting in a sharp decline in supply in my country’s market. At present, overseas companies dominate my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether market, including South Korea’s Lotte, the United States’ Dow Chemical, Switzerland’s Ineos, Germany’s BASF, etc.

Industry analysts said that as a green and environmentally friendly solvent, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is in strong demand in the coating field and the industry continues to develop. For the better. my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether industry started late. It is restricted by high technical barriers and other factors, and its demand is highly dependent on imports. At present, overseas companies dominate my country’s ethylene glycol monobutyl ether market, and local companies urgently need to increase investment in research and development to expand production capacity.
