Abstract This second article of a series (see CIS 79-625) is devoted to the group of glycol ethers, considered mainly from the fire hazard viewpoint. Table of physical properties (boiling point, flash point, fire hazard group, explosive limits, evaporation rate, relative density, vapour density, TLV) of: butyl Carbitol, butyl Cellosolve, 1,3-butanediol Carbitol, butyl Carbitol acetate, methoxybutyl acetate, Carbitol, Carbitol acetate, Cellosolve, Cellosolve acetate, diethyl Carbitol, diethyl Cellosolve, diethyleneglycol, dipropylene glycol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol diacetate, ethylene glycol monoacetate, hexylene glycol, methyl Cellosolve, methyl Cellosolve acetate, propylene glycol, triethylene glycol. Definitions of the concepts used.
