Solvent; jet fuel anti-icing additive; in the semiconductor industry in manufacture of printed circuit boards.
2-Methoxyethanol is a colorless liquid with a slight ethereal odor. The Odor Threshold is 0.9
2.3 ppm. It is miscible with water and with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a solvent for essential oils, lignin, dammar, Elemi Essential Oil, ester gum, kauri, mastic, rosin, sandarac resin, shellac, Zanzibar, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, alcohol-soluble dyes and many synthetic resins. Its solvency far cellulose esters is augmented when a ketone or a halogenated hydrocarbon i s added. The uses for 2-Methoxyethanol are as a solvent in quick-drying varnishes and enamels, in conjunction with aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols and ketones; in solvent mixtures and thinners for lacquers and dopes; in the manufacture of synthetic resin plasticizers and as a penetrating and leveling agent in dyeing processes, especially in the dyeing of leather, animal and vegetable fibers. Other uses are as o fixative in perfumes and as a solvent in odorless nail-polish lacquers. 2-Methoxyethanol should not be added to nitrocellulose lacquers containing coumarone resins or ester gum because it will cause incompatibility between these substances.
