Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether, referred to as EGME) is a commonly used chemical production raw materials, widely used in coatings, inks, cleaning agents, pharmaceutical intermediates and other fields. Its upstream and downstream associated products are numerous, the following will be described in detail the upstream and downstream products of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether.
upstream products:
1. ethylene glycol (Ethylene Glycol, referred to as EG): ethylene glycol is a colorless, tasteless, viscous liquid, can be used as a solvent, antifreeze and manufacturing polyester fiber. Ethylene glycol can react with ethanolamine to form ethylene glycol monoethyl ether.
2. Ethanolamine (Ethanolamine, EA for short): Ethanolamine is an organic amine compound with alkalinity and can be used as a solvent, preservative, surfactant, etc. Ethanol amine reacts with ethylene glycol to form ethylene glycol monoethyl ether.
downstream products:
1. Coating: ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can be used as a solvent in the coating to improve the leveling and drying of the coating and improve the performance of the coating film.
2. Ink: Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can be used as a solvent in the ink to improve the fluidity and drying of the ink, while reducing the viscosity of the ink.
3. cleaning agent: ethylene glycol monoethyl ether has good solubility and cleaning power, can be used as a cleaning agent to remove metal, glass and other surface oil stains and stains.
4. Pharmaceutical intermediates: ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates for the production of antibacterial drugs, anti-tumor drugs and other drugs.
In addition, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can also be used to produce other chemicals, such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, etc. At the same time, the by-products of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can also be used, such as the production of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, etc.
In short, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether has a wide range of upstream and downstream related products, and its application fields involve coatings, inks, cleaning agents, pharmaceutical intermediates and other fields. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application field of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether will continue to expand.
