INCI Nomenclature:
Butylene Glycol
Appearance:
Clear Liquid
Color:
Colorless
Solubility:
Water Soluble
Suggested Use Levels:
Formulation Dependent
Suggested Applications:
Humectant, Solvent, Stabilizer
pH Stability in Formulations:
3 to 8
Formulating Guidelines:
Can be incorporated into the aqueous phase of the formulation. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend heating up to not more than 40° C for extended periods of time as this may potentially lead to accelerated oxidative degradation of the product.
Odor:
Characteristic
Shelf Life:
12 months from date of manufacture.
Storage:
Store in a dry place at temperatures not exceeding 32°C. Based on stability studies, the optimum storage temperature for maximization of shelf life is 23 - 25°C. However, it may be stored at temperatures between 16 and 32°C if such specific temperature control is not available. Do not freeze.
