DOWANOL EP has germicidal and germistatic properties.
DOWANOL EP is often used together with quaternary ammonium compounds.

DOWANOL EP is used as a perfume fixative; 
an insect repellent; 
an antiseptic; a solvent for cellulose acetate, dyes, inks, and resins; 
a preservative for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and lubricants;
an anesthetic in fish aquaculture; 
and in organic synthesis.

DOWANOL EP is an alternative to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.
In Japan and the European Union, its concentration in cosmetics is restricted to 1%.

DOWANOL EP can be used as water-based coatings and ink film-forming additives, perfume fixative, ink fluent agent, medicinal antiseptic, electronic cleaning agent and ink slow drying agent.

DOWANOL EP has slightly rose fragrance, low volatilization, colorless and transparent with high boiling point. 
Easily soluble in alcohol, ether and sodium hydroxide solution, slightly soluble in water. 
DOWANOL EP is stable in acid or alkali and has a burning smell. 
Because it is miscible with many organic solvents and has strong permeability, DOWANOL EP has outstanding comprehensive performance compared with isophorone (commonly known as 783), DBE and benzyl alcohol, and can be used instead of full performance.

synthesis:
Phenol and ethylene oxide are condensed under the action of sodium acetate or sodium hydroxide. 
the reaction is as follows: the method needs to be carried out at a temperature of 20 ℃ and a pressure of 0.2-0.25 MPa. 
Suitable for mass and industrial production.

use    
ethylene glycol phenyl ether (KL-EPH) is a typical high boiling point organic solvent, which has been widely used in Europe and America as early as the 1970s.
DOWANOL EP is a colorless and transparent liquid with slightly rose fragrance, low volatilization and high boiling point. 
Because it can be miscible with many organic solvents and has strong permeability, DOWANOL EP has outstanding comprehensive performance compared with isophorone (commonly known as 783), DBE and benzyl alcohol, and can be used instead of full performance. 
DOWANOL EP has excellent solubility to acrylic resin, nitrocellulose, ethyl cellulose, epoxy resin, alkyd resin, phenoxy resin and other resins, and can be miscible with alcohol and ether, commonly known as "universal solvent".
DOWANOL EP can be used as water-based coatings and ink film-forming additives, fragrance fixatives, ink fluency agents, medicinal antiseptic fungicides, electronic cleaning agents and ink slow-drying agents, etc
