Ibikoresho bya shimi:

Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether ni ibara ritagira ibara, ritetse cyane hamwe numunuko woroshye. Ntibishobora kugereranywa n'amazi, inzoga (methanol), ketone (acetone), ethers (Ethyl ether), hydrocarbone ya aromatic (benzene), hydrocarbone ya paraffinike (n-heptane), na hydrocarbone ya halogene (karubone tetrachloride). Nkuko ari ubwoko bwa ether-alcool ifitemo ibikorwa byo gukemura ibintu byinshi nkamavuta, amarangi, amenyo, hamwe nibisigarira bisanzwe. Ikoreshwa nk'umuti utetse cyane muri lacquer ya nitrocellulose hamwe nandi mwenda wa sintetike, lacquers zo guteka, wino zicapura zumye, hamwe no kwiyuhagira.
