Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) Wiki
CAS: 96-48-0
Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), a colorless
hygroscopic liquid and with a sweet smell used of many different manufacturing
method, which able to solubilize and dispense thousands organic compounds. The
very good performance of GBL as a gamma lactone makes it a very beneficial
solvent in lots of formulations, for example cleaning formulations. Besides
this, it is assisting cleaning products in their ability to perform better;
this is one of the major reasons as to its increased use in commercial and
industrial fields.
GBL in heavy-duty formulations is a
versatile solvent and cleaning agent that has gained acceptance in the HI&I
industry. Its ability to penetrate and dissolve grease, oils, and other
stubborn residues makes GBL an ideal formulation for industrial cleaning
applications, paint stripping, and degreasing agents. Lastly, GBL contributes
to stabilization and homogenization of formulations.
