Description

colourless liquid 2-Ethoxyethanol is a colorless, viscous liquidwith a sweetish odor Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a colorlessliquid with a sweet, mild odor and slightly bitter taste. It is miscible in allproportions of acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl ether, methanol, andwater. It dissolves many oils, resins, and waxes.ChEBI: A hydroxyether that is the ethyl ether derivative of ethylene glycol.A clear colorless liquid. Flash point of 120°F. Less dense than water.

Glycol monoethyl ether Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

By the reaction of ethylene oxide and ethanol. At 25-30°C, slowly add ethylene oxide to absolute ethanol, wait for the temperature to rise to 70°C, and leave it overnight after the reaction. Recover ethanol, neutralize to pH=8 with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and obtain crude product by fractional distillation. Distillation, collecting 133.5-135.5 ℃ fractions to get finished products. Each ton of product consumes 863kg of ethylene oxide and 1020kg of absolute ethanol.

Uses

2-Ethoxyethanol is used in varnish removers, lacquers, and as a solvent for printing inks, duplicating fluids, and epoxy. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is used in hydraulic fluids, as a coupling agent for water-based coatings, in vinyl and acrylic paints and varnishes, and as a solvent for varnishes, enamels, spray lacquers, dry cleaning compounds, textiles, and cosmetics.
2-Ethoxyethanol (EGEE) is used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, lacquers,and varnishes; in dye baths and cleansingsolutions; and as an emulsion stabilizer.
It is used as a solvent, as well as leather colorant, emulsifier, stabilizer, paint thinner, paint remover, organic intermediate, etc. It also used as solvent, extraction agent, water repellent and organic intermediate.
