Packaging and shipping
Tripropylene glycol monobutyl ether (TPhB) is a derivative of glycol ethers with a longer molecular chain and stronger hydrophobicity. Its structural characteristics give it extremely high boiling point, extremely low volatility, excellent solubility, long-lasting plasticizing effect, and good thermal stability. These properties make TPhB an ideal choice for addressing challenging applications such as solvent-free/high-solid system processing, long-lasting slow-release agrochemical formulations, heavy scale industrial cleaning, high-performance polymer modification, and high-end personal care products.

Product Core Positioning
Trimethylpropanediol monobutyl ether (TPhB) is a derivative of glycol ethers with a longer molecular chain and stronger hydrophobicity. Its structural characteristics give it extremely high boiling point, extremely low volatility, excellent solubility, long-lasting plasticizing effect, and good thermal stability. These properties make TPhB an ideal choice for addressing challenging applications such as solvent-free/high-solid system processing, long-lasting slow-release agrochemical formulations, heavy scale industrial cleaning, high-performance polymer modification, and high-end personal care products.
Core application value and solutions
Solvent-free / Ultra-high Solid Content Coatings and Adhesives: As a reactive diluent and long-lasting plasticizer, TPhB can effectively reduce the construction viscosity of ultra-high viscosity systems. At the same time, its extremely low volatility and excellent compatibility ensure that it will not escape during the curing process, thereby endowing the coating with lasting flexibility, adhesion and chemical resistance. It is a key additive for environmentally friendly epoxy, polyurethane and other high-end systems.
Long-acting sustained-release agricultural chemicals: Thanks to its extremely high boiling point and strong carrier properties, TPhB is an ideal solvent for preparing environmentally friendly formulations such as microcapsule suspensions (CS) and seed treatments. It enables the slow and controlled release of active ingredients, significantly extending the duration of efficacy, reducing the frequency of application, and enhancing utilization efficiency and environmental friendliness.
High-end industrial and transportation cleaning agents: As the core solvent of the long-lasting heavy dirt cleaning formula, TPhB has strong solubility for heavy oil stains, asphalt, and carbon deposits, and its extremely slow evaporation rate is particularly suitable for soaking and wiping processes of vehicles, aircraft, and large industrial equipment, providing deep and long-lasting cleaning effects.
Special polymer and elastomer modification: As a high-performance plasticizer and processing aid, TPhB can effectively improve the processing fluidity of certain special resins and rubber, reduce the melt viscosity, and permanently give products better flexibility, low-temperature bending performance and dimensional stability. It is suitable for applications in wire and cable, special sealing materials, etc.
Personal care and cosmetics products: High-purity TPhB can serve as a long-lasting and mild carrier for fragrances, oils, and active ingredients. Its extremely low volatility and irritation properties can provide stable and long-lasting efficacy release and a refreshing, non-greasy quality skin sensation for skin care products, sunscreen products, etc.
