CAS: 122-99-6
The substance Glycol Ether EPH is an organic solvent derived from a range of uses in the glycol ether family. Because of its special properties and for specific reasons it has been applied in many different industries. The biphasic nature of which offers its unique characteristics allowing the material to be interfaced with both water, and organic media much better than others comparable products.

Applications in the Plastic & Rubber Industry
Glycol Ether EPH is mainly used as a solvent In Plastic and Rubber Industry , It is used mostly in many formulations. Slow viscosity of resin systems to achieve better flow during processing It was very effective in reducing viscosity but resulted in an enhancement of the adhesion and compatibility of components from rubber & plastic end products to hence great properties about durability, flexibility…etc on end product.
Other Industries Of Application Glycol Ether EPH
Sides the Oil & Gas Industry, EPH have application in other industries:
Oil & Gas: Used as a drilling fluid and fluid for the enhanced recovery of oil.
Construction: Used as solvent for adhesives and sealants in order it can provide the best bond properties.
Cosmetics: Carrier for active ingredients in personal care products stability and efficacy
Household and Heavy industry Cleaning (HI&I): Widely used in cleaning products due its powerful grease-cutting ability.
Pharmaceuticals: As a solvent for drugs to improve the solubility of actives indirectly acting on stability and bioavailability
Agriculture: pesticide formulations improving the stability and efficacy of active ingredients.
