Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate

Description:

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, commonly referred to as EGMEA, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O3. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. EGMEA is known for its excellent solvent properties, making it effective in dissolving a wide range of substances, including resins, paints, and coatings. It has a moderate boiling point and a relatively low viscosity, which enhances its applicability in various industrial processes. The compound is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment, which can influence its performance in formulations. EGMEA is also characterized by its low toxicity compared to other solvents, although appropriate safety measures should still be observed during handling. It is commonly used in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, as well as in cleaning products. As with many solvents, it is important to ensure proper ventilation and use personal protective equipment to minimize exposure during use.

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate

CAS: 110-49-6

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (EMEA) is a solvent that is used for the extraction of organic compounds in the laboratory. It can be used to extract fatty acids from animal tissue or to isolate DNA from blood samples. EMEA is also used as a solvent in analytical methods such as gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. This compound is mainly used as an inorganic acid, but it can also be used as a nitrogen source for some chemical reactions. EMEA reacts with light exposure, which makes it a potent inducer of chemical reactions. The hydrolysis reaction of EMEA by hydrochloric acid yields glycol ethers and diethyl succinate.
