I-Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether iwuketshezi olungenambala, olubilayo kakhulu olunephunga elipholile. Iyaxubeka ngezilinganiso namanzi, utshwala (i-methanol), i-ketone (i-acetone), i-ethers (i-ethyl ether), ama-hydrocarbons anephunga elimnandi (benzene), ama-paraffinic hydrocarbons (n-heptane), nama-halogenated hydrocarbon (carbon tetrachloride). Njengoba kuyinhlanganisela yohlobo lwe-ether-alcohol inesenzo sokuncibilikisa izinto eziningi ezifana namafutha, odayi, izinsini, nezinsalela zemvelo nezokwenziwa. Isetshenziswa njenge-solvent ebilayo kakhulu kuma-lacquers e-nitrocellulose kanye nezinye izimbotshana zokwenziwa, ama-lacquers okubhaka, oyinki bokuphrinta aba-flash-dry, kanye nokugeza okudayi.
