Basic Info

synthetic methods

Acetic acid esterification synthesis method: Ethylene glycol diacetate is synthesized through the esterification reaction of ethylene glycol and acetic acid, with p - toluenesulfonic acid, resin, chloride, sulfate, etc. as catalysts.

Transesterification method: Usually, ethylene glycol and ethyl acetate are made to undergo a transesterification reaction under the action of a catalyst to produce ethylene glycol diacetate.

Uses

Solvent: As an efficient, safe, non - toxic, and low - volatile organic solvent, Ethylene glycol diacetate can dissolve various organic compounds like resins, paints, and inks. It finds extensive application in the fields of paints, inks, coatings, and varnishes.

Organic synthesis: Ethylene glycol diacetate serves as a reaction solvent and an acetic - acid donor in acetic - acid - related esterification reactions. It participates in a variety of organic synthesis reactions, such as esterification, transesterification, and acetylation, and can also be used as an organic synthesis intermediate.

Cleaners and detergents: Ethylene glycol diacetate has a good capacity to remove grease and stains. It can be used for cleaning metal surfaces, plastics, glass, and ceramics, as well as for the maintenance of cars, homes, and industrial equipment.

Cosmetics and personal care products: Ethylene glycol diacetate functions as a diluent, thickener, and solvent in some cosmetics and personal care products. It improves the texture, stability, and spreadability of the product and facilitates the uniform dispersion of other ingredients.
