Ethylene Glycol Diacetate 98%

What is Ethylene Glycol Diacetate? Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA), also known as ethane-1,2-diol diacetate or ethylene glycol diacetate ester, is an organic compound commonly used as a solvent. It is a colourless, slightly viscous liquid with a mild odour, primarily used in industrial applications such as coatings, inks, and chemical synthesis. Ethylene Glycol Diacetate is formed by esterification of ethylene glycol with acetic acid, resulting in a solvent with a wide range of applications in both laboratory and industrial environments. Its solvent properties make it effective for dissolving resins, oils, and other organic compounds, and it is often used in the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, and various chemical formulations.
