  • Applications

    2-Ethoxy-1-propanol (CAS 19089-47-5) is primarily used as a solvent and processing aid in industrial formulations. It acts as a versatile solvent for coatings, inks, cleaners and adhesives, and can function as a reactive diluent or processing solvent in certain resin systems such as polyurethanes and UV-curable coatings. It also serves as an intermediate or building block for the synthesis of specialty chemicals, including fragrance materials and other polymer precursors. In plastics, polymers and electronics-cleaning applications, it may be employed as a formulation solvent under applicable regulations. It may also be used as a formulation solvent in cosmetics and personal care products where permitted.
