Propylene Glycol Butyl Ether Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Propylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether
- Propylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
- PnB
- PGBE
Propylene glycol butyl ether supplier enquiries in Malaysia commonly use the full generic name, propylene glycol n-butyl ether or the shorthand PnB solvent. It is a P-series glycol ether supplied as a clear liquid for industrial formulation work.
Buyers can request a general-purpose solvent grade or a purity-controlled grade matched to a defined purchasing specification. This page covers the monopropylene product, not dipropylene glycol butyl ether or an ethylene-series glycol ether, which are different materials.
Propylene glycol butyl ether is used as a coupling solvent in hard-surface and industrial cleaners, and as a coalescing, tail or slow-evaporating solvent in waterborne coatings, printing inks and other formulated products. Grade selection should reflect the formulation, process and required evaporation profile.
Send the required identity, purity or specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, documentation, availability and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about propylene glycol butyl ether
What other names are used for propylene glycol butyl ether?
Buyers may specify propylene glycol n-butyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, PnB, PGBE or 1-butoxy-2-propanol. Include the name used on your specification with the enquiry so the requested identity can be matched before quotation.
Is PnB the same as dipropylene glycol butyl ether?
No. This page covers the monopropylene glycol butyl ether commonly abbreviated PnB; dipropylene glycol butyl ether is a separate solvent. State the full product name or specification when requesting a quote.
Which grade should I request for a coating or cleaner formulation?
Specify the application and any limits for purity, composition, colour or water content. The appropriate grade and supporting documentation can then be confirmed with the quotation.
How is propylene glycol butyl ether used in formulations?
It is used as a coupling solvent in cleaners and as a coalescing, tail or slow-evaporating solvent in coatings and inks. Suitability depends on the complete formulation and the required evaporation profile.
What information is needed for a propylene glycol butyl ether quote?
Send the required product name, specification or purity, quantity, application and delivery location. Packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed as part of the quotation.
