Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (Cellosolve / EGEE)
CAS Number: 110-80-5
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Cellosolve, EGEE, ≥99.0%) is an E-series glycol ether solvent with high solvency for cellulose, resins, and dyes, combined with complete water miscibility. While being gradually replaced by P-series alternatives in many consumer applications, it remains important in specialty coatings, ink formulations, and industrial applications where its unique solvency properties are required.
