Description
Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Acetate (CAS 112-07-2) is an organic solvent also known as EB Acetate, Butoxyethyl Acetate, Dowanol EB Acetate, and Ektasolve EB Acetate. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under EC 203-933-3 with the molecular formula C8H16O3.
In coatings and industrial cleaning formulations, EB Acetate functions as a slow-evaporating solvent that improves film levelling and reduces surface defects by extending open time during application. In adhesive and sealant systems, it acts as a reactive carrier that supports cross-linking reactions, improving bond strength and cure consistency.
EB Acetate is available in standard industrial grades and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. It is supplied in drums and intermediate bulk containers. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and purity specifications with the supplier prior to ordering.
