NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol

Will we have more of these 'in the air?' *

There is a lot of this chemical expelled into the air, and when it breaks down, it produces CO and CO2 *

DEFINITION:

2-Butoxyethanol is an organic solvent with the formula C6H14O2. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, ether-like odour. It is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol, but should not be confused with it.

PRODUCTION:

In 2006, the total European production of all butyl glycol ethers amounted to 181 kilo tons per annum (kt/a), approximately 50% (90 kt/a) of which was 2-butoxyethanol. World production is estimated to be 200 to 500 kt/a, of which 75% is for paints and coatings.

My letter to my Senator: *

You have my permission to use any of my gathered info & expression of 'what it means' in any way you wish. I hope someone will find out what happened to the EVOS workers. LA Times Article * How many are still alive? * 'the inipol guys' *

The U. S. Coast Guard should concur with the RCAC position: "No Dispersant use in Prince William Sound" * *
