Pricing

The price of butyl diglycol acetate is mainly influenced by the cost and import volume of its raw material, butyl diglycol. Additionally, the price of acetic acid, a component of the product, affects the final price. Butyl diglycol acetate is produced by combining butyl diglycol with acetic acid.

Sales

This product is widely used in the paint and resin industry and is typically sold in bulk or in barrels. For bulk purchases, buyers must have a dedicated tank for unloading or send empty barrels to be filled. Otherwise, the cost of barrels will be added to the product price.

Manufacturers

In Iran, manufacturers of butyl diglycol acetate with standard quality are limited. These producers usually import butyl diglycol first or source it from importers, and then produce butyl diglycol acetate locally.

Quality, Analysis, and Safety Information

Due to the presence of low-quality products in the market, it is highly recommended to purchase from reputable suppliers and obtain the product’s Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). These documents ensure the quality and safety of the product and provide essential information about its composition and safe handling.
