But they may contain other harmful chemicals, including Butyl
Cellosolve and methanol (methyl alcohol), which can cause blindness or death if accidentally ingested.
Ethyl
cellosolve and formamide are also used in the cotton swab applicator test, where the solution is spread on the substrate using a cotton applicator.

Epoxy resin (epoxy equivalent 500) of 30% volume solids was prepared by refluxing 30 g of 6071 resin with 70 cc of solvent mixture of xylene, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and butyl
cellosolve. The paint was prepared in a lab attritor.
Dry material was restored with aqueous 4:1 butil
cellosolve. Pinnae were cleared with aqueous 6% NaOH, then coloured with aqueous 1 % TBO (Gurr 1966).
Other methods to test surface energy of the substrate range from a tape pick-off test to a chemical test involving the application of formamide and ethyl
cellosolve, used to determine dyne level.
But, he says, "There is a carcinogenic substance named butyl
cellosolve that is highly biodegradable and very toxic." To complicate things further, natural products also decay back into the environment at varying rates.
Dow Chemical officers butyl
Cellosolve acetate and butyl Carbitol acetate.
The most toxic ingredients in these solutions are petroleum solvents and butyl
cellosolve, which both pose serious health threats.
