Overview
A hydroxyether that is the ethyl ether derivative of ethylene glycol. 2 Ethoxyethanol, is a reaction product of ethylene oxide and Ethanol. 2 Ethoxyethanol also knon as Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether . 2 Ethoxyethanol is chemically known as a Ethyl Glycol, 1-Ethoxy-2-hydroxyethene, Ethyl (2-hydroxyethyl) ether. Commercially it is known as a Ethyl Cellosolve, which is a trademark of Union Carbide. Ethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether is an excellent solvent for the various resins & paste etc.
Applications
2 Ethoxyethanol is a medium boiling, colorless stable liquid having a mild odor. 2 Ethoxyethanol is a completely miscible with water & organic liquid. 2 Ethoxyethanol is used as a solvent in nitrocellulose and cellulose Ether lacquers due to its pleasent odor. Ethyl Cellosolve is also not slow down the drying time dispite its low volatility.
Dosage and directions
The addition of small quantity of 2 Ethoxyethanol to alkyd resin and cellulose ether lacquers considerably reduce their viscosity & thus improves their brushability. 2 Ethoxyethanol is also used as an ingredient in cleaning agent and paints stippers. The Some vegetable Oils can be dispersed in water with the help of2 Ethoxyethanol . This product is also used in Latex Paint industries as a Solvent & Covering Agent
2 Ethoxyethanol 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. Cellulose lacquers containing 2 Ethoxyethanol are applied to stained wood, the solvent dissolves part of the stain out of the wood, giving slightly colored lacquer films. 2 Ethoxyethanol may also be used in the dying of leather. 2 Ethoxyethanol does not attack rubber.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

Precautionary Statements Response |
Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician Skin IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower Ingestion IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell Rinse mouth Fire In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam for extinction Storage Store locked up.Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed Disposal Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant |
| Eye Contact | Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Skin Contact | Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild soap if available. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Inhalation: | Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required. |
| Ingestion: | If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. |
| General Advice | Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is required. |
