Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether

Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (CAS 112-35-6), also known as methoxytriethylene glycol, is a slow-evaporating glycol ether solvent.

Where is Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether used?

• Waterborne coatings and adhesives: coalescing solvent and viscosity modifier improving film formation and open time
• Inkjet and offset printing inks: high-boiling solvent controlling drying speed and preventing nozzle clogging
• Water treatment: carrier for biocidal actives, aiding dispersion and contact efficacy in cooling systems
• Sealants and elastomers: reactive diluent or processing aid for controlled curing and polar-substrate compatibility
• Its low volatility and water miscibility make it a carrier and coupling agent.

Commercial specifications

• Clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities
• High-purity grades for specialty coatings and electronics
• Bulk supply for large-volume industrial buyers
