Description
Application
2-Ethoxyethanol is used in the manufacture of paints varnishes lacquers and printing inks where it improves application properties and finish quality. It is also used in cleaning products adhesives and chemical intermediates. In the electronics industry it can be used in photoresist formulations. Additionally it has been used in the production of dyes resins and as a solvent in laboratory settings.
Purpose
The primary purpose of 2-Ethoxyethanol is to act as a solvent and coalescing agent. It helps improve the flow consistency and stability of formulations such as paints coatings and inks. It is also used to enhance the mixing of water-based and oil-base
General Description
It contains both an ether group and an alcohol group which gives it the ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including resins dyes oils and polymers. Because of its relatively slow evaporation rate and good solvency power it is widely used in industrial and laboratory applications.
