Product Introduction: 2-Propoxyethanol (Ethylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether)

Basic Information

• Product Name: 2-Propoxyethanol (IUPAC Name); Ethylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether (Common Name)
• CBNumber: CB7203174
• CAS No.: 2807-30-9
• Molecular Formula (MF): C?H??O?
• Molecular Weight (MW): 104.15 g/mol
• Synonyms: Propyl cellosolve; 1-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)propane; Glycol propyl ether

Core Properties

2-Propoxyethanol is a colorless, clear liquid with a mild, ether-like odor. It exhibits excellent solubility characteristics, being miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, ketones, esters, and most organic solvents. Key physicochemical specifications include:

• Boiling Point: 151-153°C
• Melting Point: -76°C
• Density: 0.890-0.895 g/cm³ (20°C)
• Flash Point (Closed Cup): 49°C (Flammable liquid)
• Viscosity: 1.7 mPa·s (20°C)
• pH Value: 6-8 (1% aqueous solution)

Chemically stable under normal storage and usage conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. It belongs to the glycol ether family, featuring both hydrophilic (hydroxyl group) and lipophilic (propyl ether chain) functional groups, which endow it with superior solvency for a wide range of organic and inorganic substances.

Main Applications

Leveraging its balanced solubility and low volatility, 2-Propoxyethanol is widely used across multiple industrial sectors:

1. Coatings & Paints IndustryServes as a high-performance solvent in water-based coatings, alkyd resins, acrylic paints, and industrial coatings. It improves film formation, enhances leveling properties, and reduces viscosity without compromising coating adhesion or durability. Ideal for architectural coatings, automotive refinishes, and metal protection coatings.
2. Chemical IntermediatesUsed in the synthesis of esters, plasticizers, surfactants, and corrosion inhibitors. It acts as a key building block for propoxyethyl esters (e.g., 2-propoxyethyl acetate) and glycol ether-based surfactants, which are widely applied in cleaning products and industrial formulations.
3. Cleaning & Degreasing AgentsFormulated into industrial cleaners, metal degreasers, and electronic component cleaners. Its strong solvency for oils, greases, and waxes, combined with good water miscibility, makes it effective for removing contaminants from metal surfaces, electronic parts, and machinery.
4. Printing Inks & AdhesivesFunctions as a solvent and co-solvent in water-based inks, screen printing inks, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. It helps dissolve resin binders, improve ink flow, and enhance adhesion to substrates such as paper, plastic, and metal.
5. Other Industrial Uses
   • Textile industry: Used as a dyeing assistant to improve dye solubility and penetration.
   • Leather processing: Acts as a solvent for leather finishing agents and conditioners.
   • Agricultural chemicals: Formulated into pesticide formulations as a solubilizer and emulsifier to enhance active ingredient stability and bioavailability.

Product Advantages

1. Versatile Solvency: Balances hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, enabling dissolution of both polar and non-polar substances.
2. Low Volatility: Higher boiling point compared to lower-molecular-weight glycol ethers, reducing evaporation loss during processing and improving worker safety.
3. Compatibility: Excellent compatibility with most resins, polymers, and solvents, facilitating formulation flexibility.
4. Low Toxicity: Exhibits lower acute toxicity compared to some other glycol ethers, meeting global industrial safety standards (e.g., REACH, OSHA) when used as directed.
5. Enhanced Film Formation: Improves coating and ink performance by reducing surface tension and promoting uniform film application.

Packaging & Storage

• Packaging Options: Available in 20L HDPE plastic buckets, 200L steel drums, 1000L IBC totes, or bulk tankers for large-scale orders. Custom packaging can be provided upon request.
• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Avoid storage with strong oxidizing agents and acids.
• Shelf Life: 24 months from the production date when stored in accordance with specified conditions.

Safety & Compliance

• Classified as a flammable liquid (GHS Hazard Statement: H226). Keep away from ignition sources (e.g., sparks, hot surfaces).
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and a lab coat during handling.
• In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention promptly.
• Complies with international standards including REACH (EU), TSCA (US), and GB (China) for industrial use. Detailed safety information is available in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
