Propylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (PE)1-Ethoxy-2-propanol Cas 1569-02-4
This versatile, high-purity propylene glycol ether is a clear, low-odor liquid offering balanced solvency and excellent water miscibility. Ideal as a solvent and coupling agent in coatings, inks, functional fluids, and chemical synthesis, it provides a favorable low-toxicity profile.
Scope of Application
● High-Performance Industrial Solvent: Widely used in coatings, paints, inks, and cleaning formulations due to its balanced solvency for resins, dyes, and oils. It is particularly effective in water-based and solvent-based systems.
● Key Component in Functional Fluids: Serves as a coupling agent and solvent in brake fluids, hydraulic fluids, and anti-icing agents.
● Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of plasticizers, esters, and other ether derivatives.
● Specialty Applications: Employed as a solvent and flow aid in electronic chemicals, agrochemical formulations, and cosmetics (where specified grade is available).
Product Features
✦ Favorable Solvent Profile: Offers good solvency for both polar and non-polar substances, excellent water miscibility, and a relatively low evaporation rate. It effectively couples hydrophobic and hydrophilic components.
✦ High Purity & Low Toxicity: Compared to many glycol ethers, this propylene-based derivative has a more favorable toxicological profile with lower volatility.
✦ Physical Properties: A clear, colorless liquid with a mild, ether-like odor.
Packaging and Transportation
✦ This product is commonly packaged in 180 kg galvanized iron drums, or 900 kg IBC totes. hazardous goods
✦ Bulk shipments are available in ISO tank containers or according to specific customer requirements.
✦ Transport as a combustible liquid. Comply with all local and international regulations for the transport of chemicals.
Safety and Storage
✦ Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature should not exceed 40°C.
✦ Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact and inhalation of mists/vapors. Use appropriate PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles).
✦ Incompatibilities: Store separately from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids.
✦ Regulatory & Safety Information: While generally less hazardous than ethylene glycol ethers, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific hazard classification, which may include Eye Irritation (Category 2) and Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single Exposure (Category 3). Always handle according to industrial hygiene standards.
