Description

Application

Triethylene glycol monobutyl ether (TEGMBE) can be used as a solvent:

• In the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method.
• in the removal of CO₂ due to its solubilize CO₂.

It can also be used as a reactant in the preparation of polyether adducts of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato)barium.
