Description

Ethylene glycol dibenzoate is a glycol ether that is used as a solvent and as a chemical intermediate in the production of polyvinyl compounds. It can be synthesized by ethylene oxide reacting with p-hydroxybenzoic acid followed by reaction with diethylene glycol. This process yields diethylene glycol dibenzoate, which is then reacted with chlorine to form ethylene glycol dibenzoate. The water vapor generated during this process is removed using a vacuum pump or by passing the product through a molecular sieve. Ethylene glycol dibenzoate has been shown to have high resistance against water vapor, making it an excellent choice for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.
