Description

3-Ethoxy-1-propanol (CAS 111-35-3 ) is a glycol ether-type solvent used across coatings, cleaning, and printing applications. Its moderate evaporation rate and compatibility with both polar and non-polar systems make it a practical choice. Formulators utilize this chemical for managing drying profiles and substrate wetting. In coatings and adhesives, it functions as a coalescing solvent and carrier, improving film formation and flow in water-based and solvent-borne systems. Industrial and institutional cleaning formulations use it to enhance grease and soil removal while maintaining compatibility with surfactant blends. Printing ink manufacturers incorporate it to control viscosity and drying speed. The solvent is effective across flexographic and gravure processes. In plastics and polymer processing, it acts as a processing aid and plasticizer component, improving workability in resin systems and various industrial applications. This product is supplied as a clear liquid in standard drum and IBC packaging suited to industrial volumes. Technical grade is the primary commercial specification available for this specific chemical compound. Bulk quantities are accessible through standard solvent supply channels. Purity levels typically meet industrial formulation requirements, ensuring consistent performance across large-scale manufacturing and chemical processing operations.
