Product Description

Eastman EastaPure™ DB Solvent (Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether) is a high boiling, slow evaporating glycol ether providing low trace metals content for sensitive electronic applications. High-purity specifications (low trace metals) are required for solvents in semiconductor chip manufacturing, and special handling and storage procedures are used to maintain the high-purity specifications. Eastman EastaPure™ DB Solvent is being presented for photoresist applications/formulations, specifically for photoresist removers/strippers.

The chemical substances for this product are listed as Inert Ingredients Permitted for Use in Nonfood Use Pesticide Products, and in Food Use Pesticide Products with limitations, under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
