Description
2-Ethoxyethyl acetate (CAS 111-15-9) is an organic solvent also known commercially as Cellosolve Acetate, EE Acetate, O-Ethylglycol acetate, and Poly-Solv EE Acetate. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC number 203-839-2 with the molecular formula C6H12O3.
In coatings and printing inks, it dissolves nitrocellulose, epoxy resins, and acrylic binders, slowing evaporation to improve film leveling and reduce surface defects. In electronics manufacturing, it functions as a cleaning agent for flux residues and as a carrier solvent in photoresist formulations, where controlled solvency and low residue are critical process requirements.
This material is supplied in compliance with REACH regulations and is available in standard industrial drum and IBC packaging formats. Procurement teams should confirm current SDS documentation and regional classification requirements, as the substance carries specific hazard designations under CLP that affect handling and transport conditions.
