Description

2-Ethoxyethanol (CAS NO 110-80-5) is a versatile glycol ether solvent prized for its excellent solvency power and miscibility with a wide range of organic and aqueous systems. This property makes it a critical formulation component for industries requiring reliable performance in coatings, cleaning, and chemical synthesis. Key users include manufacturers of paints, inks, industrial cleaners, and chemical intermediates who depend on consistent quality and supply chain reliability.

Application

• Solvent for Surface Coatings: A primary active solvent in lacquers, varnishes, epoxy coatings, and acrylic enamels, improving flow and leveling.
• Industrial & Household Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, glass cleaners, and floor strippers due to its effectiveness on oils, greases, and resins.
• Printing Inks: Serves as a solvent and coupling agent in flexographic and gravure inks to regulate drying time and viscosity.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a starting material or reactant in the synthesis of esters, plasticizers, and other specialty chemicals.
• Dye Solvent: Employed in textile dyeing and leather finishing processes.
• Hydraulic & Brake Fluids: Used as a component in some formulations for its low freezing point and stability.
