APPLICATIONS

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is solvent for nitrocellulose, dyes, resins, and coatings; component of hydraulic fluid; anti-icing fuel additive in aviation.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as an industrial solvent and anti-icing additive to aviation fuels.
Further, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as a solvent for coatings, inks, adhesives, textile dyes, lacquers, and epoxy resins.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is not produced commercially in the EU.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used for Adhesives and sealant chemicals.
Moreover, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used for Photosensitive chemicals.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used for Processing aids, specific to petroleum production.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as Solvents for cleaning and degreasing.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used for Solvents which become part of product formulation or mixture.
Also, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether used widely in commercial and industrial applications.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether will dissolve oils, resins, grease, waxes, nitrocellulose, and lacquers.
This is an ideal property as a multi-purpose cleaner.
Thus, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used in products such as varnish removers and degreasing solutions.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a medium boiling, colorless stable liquid having a mild odor.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a completely miscible with water & organic liquid.

In addition, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as a solvent in nitrocellulose and cellulose Ether lacquers due to its pleasent odor.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is also not slow down the drying time dispite its low volatility.

The addition of small quantity of Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether to alkyd resin and cellulose ether lacquers considerably reduce their viscosity & thus improves their brushability.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is also used as an ingredient in cleaning agent and paints stippers.
Some vegetable Oils can be dispersed in water with the help of Ethylne Glycol Monoethyl Ether.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is also used in Latex Paint industries as a Solvent & Covering Agent.
What is more, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether tends to absorb water rapidly and therefore always mixed with Carbitol, methoxybutanol or Butanol, in order to prevent “blushing” of the lacquer film on drying.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether may also be used in the dying of leather. Ethyl Cellosolve does not attack rubber.

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used for the solvent for nitrocellulose, lacquers and dopes, increase stability of emulsions, used in varnish removers, cleansing soln, dye baths, finishing leather with water pigments and dye soln.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as a solvent and to produce other chemicals during industrial manufacturing practices.

DESCRIPTION

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a clear colorless liquid.
Flash point of Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is 120°F.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is less dense than water.

Vapors of Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether are heavier than air.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether appears as a clear colorless liquid.


Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is colorless liquid with a sweet, pleasant, ether-like odor.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a clear, colorless, nearly odorless liquid that is miscible with water, ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, and ethyl acetate

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is manufactured by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ethanol.
Additionally, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether has the useful property of being able to dissolve chemically diverse compounds.

Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether, is a reaction product of ethylene oxide and Ethanol.
More to that, Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is chemically known as a Ethyl Glycol, 1-Ethoxy-2-hydroxyethene, Ethyl (2-hydroxyethyl) ether.

Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is an excellent solvent for the various resins & paste etc.


First Aid


Eyes: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.
Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.

Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

Skin: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.
Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.

If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.

Inhalation: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.

Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.
Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician.

If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.


Handling and storage


Handling

Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment.
