Product Application of Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Acetate CAS#111-15-9
Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Acetate acts as an excellent solvent for resins, leather materials and printing inks. It can be mixed with other chemical components to produce leather adhesives, paint removers and hot-dip anti-corrosion coatings for metal surfaces. It is widely used in spray and brush coating systems for metals and furniture, protective coatings, dyes, resins, leather processing and ink formulations.
Besides these applications, it is used to formulate hard-surface cleaners for metal, glass and similar substrates, and also serves as a laboratory organic reagent.
