2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)acetic acid

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)acetic acid (CAS 7743-94-4) is a glycol ether-derived organic acid used as a reactive solvent and pH modifier in specialty chemical formulations.

Its ether-acid structure allows it to function simultaneously as a carrier and a buffering agent, reducing the need for separate additive systems in complex industrial processes.

In coatings and adhesives, it improves resin compatibility and aids in pH adjustment of waterborne systems, helping formulators meet application viscosity and stability targets.

Textile and leather processors use it as a processing aid where controlled acidity and solvent action are needed in dyeing or finishing baths for consistent results.

Industrial and institutional cleaning formulations incorporate it to enhance soil solubilization while maintaining a stable pH profile across various dilution ranges.

In paper manufacturing, it supports surface treatment processes where both wetting and mild acidic conditioning are required to ensure high-quality finished products.

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)acetic acid is supplied as a liquid and is available primarily in technical grade, suited to industrial formulation and processing applications.

Packaging options typically range from drums to IBC containers, depending on volume requirements, ensuring safe transport and storage for large-scale manufacturing needs.
