The Dow Oxygenated Solvents business has announced an expansion plan to increase capacity of butyl glycol ethers at its Seadrift, Texas, USA facility. This plan is part of a two-phase debottleneck project that will increase capacity of butyl cellosolve solvent and butyl carbitol solvent by 15%. 

Dow is the world’s largest supplier of butyl glycol ethers, which are extremely versatile solvents with a good balance of several different physical properties including high performance, range of compatibility, fast evaporation rate and 100% solubility.
