Ethoxypropanol
APPLICATIONS
Ethoxypropanol is used mainly in the surface coating and printing industries.
Further, Ethoxypropanol can regulate the flow, levelling and coalescence of bothsurface coatings (including water-based paints) and flexographic printing inks.
Like many other propylene glycol ethers, Ethoxypropanol is formed during the base-catalyzed reaction of propylene oxide with alcohols.
Due to its bifunctional nature, Ethoxypropanol is widely used in a variety of industries as an organic solvent.
Ethoxypropanol is one of only a few organic solvents with low toxicity, making it easier and safer to work with than some other alternatives.
Ethoxypropanol is also a very effective solvent for a variety of resins, including acrylics and epoxies.
Ethoxypropanol is used as:
Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners.
Grease and paint removers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
Effective coupling agent and efficient solvent for water-reducible coatings.

Active solvent for solvent-based coatings.
Chemical intermediate for the production of epoxides, acid ester derivatives, solvents, and plasticizers.
Effective coupling agent in water-based agricultural formulations.
Ethoxypropanol is employed mainly in the surface coating and printing industries as it can regulate the flow, leveling, and coalescence of both surface coatings (including water-based paints), and of flexographic printing inks.
New markets may open up for Ethoxypropanol as it can provide a solvent power, viscosity, and volatility that is similar to the ethylene oxide-based glycol ethers, which are now facing some pressure from air and workplace regulations around the world.
