Ethylene Glycol Phenyl Ether,Phenoxyethanol,CAS 122-99-6,conformal organic solvent
Product Name: Ethylene Glycol Phenyl Ether
Also Known As: Phenoxyethanol
CAS No.: 122-99-6
Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₀O₂
Product Overview
Ethylene Glycol Phenyl Ether is a colorless, slightly viscous oily liquid with a faint aromatic odor (reminiscent of rose). It is a high-performance, environmentally friendly organic solvent produced from the reaction of phenol and ethylene oxide.
Lipophilicity: The benzene ring in its molecular structure enables it to effectively dissolve oily and non-polar substances.
Hydrophilicity: The ether bond and hydroxyl group in its molecule allow it to be miscible with water in any proportion.
This unique combination of properties makes it a "bridge solvent," connecting the oily and aqueous worlds, leading to extremely wide-ranging applications.
Strong Solvency Power: Exhibits excellent ability to dissolve various resins, oils, dyes, and organic substances.
High Boiling Point, Low Volatility: With a relatively high boiling point (245°C) and slow evaporation rate, it helps improve coating leveling and reduces VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions during production and application.
Good Compatibility: Compatible with water, a wide range of organic solvents, and resins.
Relatively High Safety: Compared to some traditional solvents (e.g., ethylene glycol ethers like the EC series), it has lower toxicity and is more environmentally friendly.
Antimicrobial Properties: Inherently possesses certain bactericidal and preservative capabilities, making it widely used, especially in cosmetics and personal care products.
