Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (CAS 112-15-2 ), also known as Carbitol acetate and abbreviated as DGMEA, is a slow-evaporating ester solvent used across coatings, printing inks, and personal care formulations. Its controlled evaporation rate makes it a preferred choice where extended open time and film leveling are critical procurement considerations. In printing and packaging, it functions as a high-boiling solvent. It is used in gravure and screen printing inks, improving flow and reducing premature drying on press. Coatings and resin formulators use it to dissolve nitrocellulose, epoxy, and polyurethane systems. Its solvency balance helps achieve target viscosity and film quality. In personal care, it acts as a solvent and carrier in nail lacquers and fragrance formulations where compatibility is a key selection factor. It also appears in industrial cleaning compounds and surface preparation products targeting adhesive residues and polymer films. The product is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Bulk tanker options are available for high-volume buyers. Technical grade is the standard commercial specification, with purity typically at 99% minimum for most industrial and chemical manufacturing uses. Specialty grades meeting specific low-water or low-acidity thresholds are available for sensitive coating and personal care applications. These ensure consistency across various high-performance production environments. Contact us for supply of Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate Request Quote
