Description

Ethanol, 2-2-(2-Propoxyethoxy)Ethoxy- is a specialized polyether alcohol, also known as triethylene glycol monopropyl ether, valued for its excellent solvent properties and miscibility with a wide range of polar and non-polar substances. This compound is crucial for formulators seeking a high-boiling, low-volatility solvent with good coupling ability and surface activity. It is primarily needed by industries involved in the production of coatings, inks, cleaning agents, and specialty chemical formulations where controlled evaporation and solvency are required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as a coupling agent and solvent in heavy-duty degreasers, floor strippers, and hard surface cleaners.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a coalescing aid and solvent in water-based and solvent-based formulations to improve film formation and flow properties.
• Chemical Intermediates: Used as a raw material in the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricants, and other specialty esters.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a component in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and lubricants.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Functions as a solvent and carrier in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Electronics: Used in precision cleaning applications for electronic components due to its controlled evaporation profile.
