Description
Ethylene Glycol Monobenzyl Ether (CAS 622-08-2), also known as Benzyl Cellosolve, Benzyl Glycol, and 2-Benzyloxyethanol, is a benzyl-functionalized glycol ether with the molecular formula C9H12O2. It carries no assigned E-code and is catalogued under EC number 210-719-3.
In personal care formulations, it functions as a solvent carrier that improves fragrance diffusion and enhances preservative efficacy by disrupting microbial cell membranes. In coatings and printing inks, it acts as a coalescing solvent and UV stabilizer, slowing photodegradation of pigments and binder systems.
This material is supplied as an industrial-grade liquid and falls under REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. It is classified under HS code 29052900 for customs purposes. Packaging formats typically include drums and IBCs; buyers should confirm grade specifications and SDS documentation prior to procurement.
