Abstract

A cloudy region found in the liquid system 2-butoxyethanol + water with traces of 2-(2-hexyloxyethoxy) ethanol, at the water-rich part of the phase diagram, is studied with light scattering. Our results indicate that the cloudy region corresponds to a phase separation. We present the cloud points for two series of mixtures at constant 2-(2-hexyloxyethoxy) ethanol concentration (I and 1.5 wt% ). Some comments are made to explain the apparent stability of that cloudy region.
