What is 3-Ethoxy-1-propanol?
3-Ethoxy-1-propanol (CAS 111-35-3) is a glycol ether-type solvent used in coatings, cleaning, and printing.
Where is 3-Ethoxy-1-propanol used?
- Coatings and adhesives: coalescing solvent and carrier improving film formation and flow in water-based and solvent-borne systems
- Industrial and institutional cleaning: enhances grease and soil removal while maintaining compatibility with surfactant blends
- Printing inks: controls viscosity and drying speed
- Plastics and polymer processing: processing aid and plasticizer component improving workability in resin systems
- Formulators use it to manage drying profiles and substrate wetting.
Good to know: Its moderate evaporation rate and compatibility with polar and non-polar systems suit drying-profile and wetting control.
Commercial specifications
- Standard drum and IBC packaging
- Purity levels typically meet industrial formulation requirements
