  • Applications

    2-Phenoxyethyl acetate (CAS 6192-44-5) is an ester used primarily as a solvent and processing aid in a range of formulations. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it serves as a solvent to dissolve resins and additives. It also functions as a plasticizer/processing aid in polymer and plastics formulations to aid processing and flexibility. In fragrance and personal care, it can serve as a solvent for fragrance components or as a fixative. In cleaning and household products, it acts as a solvent to dissolve oils and soils. It may also be used as an intermediate in chemical syntheses to prepare other esters or related compounds. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
