  • Applications

    2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate (CAS 112-15-2) is a polar, relatively high-boiling solvent commonly used as a solvent and processing aid in coatings and paints, in inks, and in adhesives. It is also employed in industrial cleaning formulations as a solvent to dissolve resins, oils, and residues; serves as a processing solvent or diluent in polymer and plastics formulations; and can function as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and specialty formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
