DIBK is a colorless, transparent and flammable liquid with a minty aroma. With good evaporation rate, low surface tension & viscosity.

It is miscible with ethanol, aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers and water.

This product is low in toxicity, high concentration inhalation has a stimulating effect on the nose and throat, and the maximum allowable concentration of 240mg/m.

Different grade DIBK can be customized provided according to requirements.

ApplicationsIt can be used as a solvent for industrial coatings, plastic paint and vacuum plating paint. It is an excellent solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylic resin, vinyl paint and organic dispersant. It does not corrode the substrate, has strong dissolving power and improves the leveling of the coating film, Gloss, recoatability and wettability to plastic substrates.
