Use Butyl Cellosolve in lacquers to slow drying times and improve flow, brushability, and leveling, especially in conditions with high humidity or low temperatures, to prevent defects like blushing. Its strong solvency for resins, combined with its low volatility, also makes it an excellent solvent for nitrocellulose lacquers and other solvent-based coatings
Retarding Solvent: Butyl Cellosolve is a slow-evaporating solvent, functioning as a lacquer retarder to slow down the overall drying process.

Improved Flow and Leveling: Its slow evaporation rate allows the lacquer to stay wet longer, providing more time for the coating to flow and level out, resulting in a smoother, glossier finish.
Preventing Blushing: In high humidity or cold conditions, lacquers can dry too quickly, trapping moisture and causing a hazy white appearance known as blushing. Butyl Cellosolve's slow evaporation rate gives the moisture time to escape, preventing blushing.

Enhanced Brushability: By extending the working time, it makes the lacquer easier to brush, especially for tasks such as painting large surfaces or reapplying a new coat onto an existing one.

Strong Solvency: It is a powerful solvent for various resins, including nitrocellulose, making it effective in dissolving and dispersing the components of lacquers, varnishes, and enamels.
