Properties and Usage:

Ethylene glycol methyl ether (EGME) is a colorless, volatile solvent. Due to its good solubility and low toxicity, it has become a key chemical raw material in many applications. The following are its specific application areas:

 

1. Solvents

Coatings and inks: EGME is commonly used in automotive coatings, architectural coatings and printing inks. It improves the final quality of coatings by improving the fluidity, gloss and drying speed of coatings.

Industrial cleaning agents: EGME can effectively dissolve grease and dirt in cleaning agents.

Laboratory solvents: It has excellent solubility and stability as a solvent or diluent.

 

2. Chemical intermediates

Chemical synthesis: EGME is used as an intermediate in chemical reactions and participates in the synthesis of other organic compounds, especially in organic synthesis and drug manufacturing.

 

3. Additives

Antifreeze: In some antifreezes, EGME is one of the ingredients that can effectively prevent liquids from freezing under low temperature conditions.

 

4. Dissolution and dispersion

Formulation chemicals: Used in the formulation of cosmetics, detergents and pesticides to help dissolve and disperse solid substances and improve product performance.

 

5. Printing Industry

Quick Drying Ink: EGME is often used in the production of printing inks due to its volatility. It can speed up the drying of inks, improve the efficiency of printing production lines, and reduce downtime.

 

6. Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology

Drug Manufacturing: As a solvent in the synthesis of certain drugs, EGME is also widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields.

 

7. Other Applications

Plastics and Synthetic Materials: In the production of plastics and synthetic materials, EGME is used as a solvent or additive to help improve the processing characteristics of materials and enhance the durability and performance of products.
