Description
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (also known as 2-Ethoxyethyl Acetate) belongs to the family of glycol ethers that are commonly used in paints and cleaners, e. g. for cellulose nitrate paints. Its properties can also be exploited in coatings for brushing on, dip coating and spraying, and for stove enamels. 2-Ethoxyethyl acetate is also used as a liquid pesticide product1. It is used as a solvent dissolve resin, leather, ink, for the formulation of paints, lacquers and varnishes for industrial use. It is also used to study the field evaluation of a passive badge for measuring the level of 2-ethoxyethyl acetate. It is also used to study the field evaluation of a passive badge. Another application for 2-Ethylhexyl Acetate is as an additive in cleaners and paint removers.

Physical properties
Colorless liquid with a faint, pleasant odor. Experimentally determined detection and recognition
odor threshold concentrations were 300 μg/m3 (60 ppbv) and 700 μg/m3 (130 ppbv), respectively
(Hellman and Small, 1974). Nagata and Takeuchi (1990) reported an odor threshold concentration
of 49 ppbv.

Uses
In the coatings industry, especially in
the semiconductor industry; solvent for nitrocellulose
and some resins 2-Ethoxyethyl acetate is used as a solvent dissolve resin, leather, ink, for the formulation of paints, lacquers and varnishes for industrial use. It is also used to study the field evaluation of a passive badge for measuring 2-ethoxyethyl acetate. Solvent for nitrocellulose, oils, and resins;
retards “blushing” in lacquers, varnish removers,
wood stains, textiles, and leather.
