What is Butyl Cellosolve & Why Are Alternatives Necessary?


Butyl Cellosolve is used in countless industrial and commercial cleaners. While many of these products claim to be non-hazardous, the incorporation of Butyl Cellosolve can cause a variety of health issues depending upon the exposure levels.


Negative health effects of short-term exposure to this chemical include, irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, dizziness, unconsciousness, abdominal pain, nausea, and more. Long term effects include blood disorders, central nervous system depression, pulmonary edema, and liver or kidney damage. It has also been shown to be capable of damaging developing fetuses.


These serious health concerns necessitate the existence of a replacement solvent, and ELSOL BCR is the perfect alternative to protect your employees and your business. Read our recent article, linked below, to learn more about the dangers of Butyl Cellosolve.
