  • Applications

    Ethylene glycol diacetate (1,1-Ethanediol, 1,1-diacetate; CAS 542-10-9) is mainly used as a solvent and processing aid in industrial formulations and serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of esters and specialty chemicals. It functions as a plasticizer for certain polymers and as a reactive diluent in UV-curable coatings and inks, helping adjust viscosity and cure characteristics. In polymer and resin manufacture, it can act as a precursor for additional plasticizers and ester-based additives. Its use is typically evaluated within formulation workflows and is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
