  • Applications

    2-(8-Methylnonoxy)ethanol (CAS 61827-42-7) is a glycol ether commonly used as a solvent and co-solvent in industrial formulations. In coatings and inks, it helps dissolve resin systems and aids film formation. It is also employed in cleaning and degreasing formulations due to its ability to dissolve oils and greases. In polymer and plastics processing, it can function as a solvent or processing aid during formulation and compounding, and it may serve as an intermediate for the synthesis of other glycol ethers or nonionic surfactants. Additional uses include serving as a component in adhesives and sealants formulations and in electronics cleaning fluids, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
