Description

2-Ethoxyethyl acetate (CAS 111-15-9 ), also known as EGEEA or Glycol monoethyl ether acetate, is a slow-evaporating ester solvent used across coatings, printing, and electronics manufacturing. Its controlled evaporation rate supports film formation and process consistency in demanding industrial applications. In coatings and paints, it dissolves nitrocellulose, epoxy, and alkyd resins. This solvent improves flow and leveling in high-performance architectural and industrial finishes. Printing ink formulators use it as a carrier solvent where extended open time and strong resin solvency are required. It is particularly effective in gravure and screen printing applications. Electronics manufacturers rely on it for cleaning flux residues and degreasing precision components where a slower evaporation profile reduces residue risk. In adhesives and sealants production, it functions as a process solvent to control viscosity and application characteristics during manufacturing. This ensures high-quality results in specialized industrial settings. The product is supplied as a clear liquid in standard industrial drum and IBC quantities. Technical grade is the primary commercial specification available to industrial buyers for large-scale operations. Purity levels typically range from 98% to 99%+, with documentation including COA and standard safety data. These documents support procurement and import compliance for global chemical distribution networks. Contact us for supply of 2-ethoxyethyl acetate Request Quote
