Glycol ethers are ethers of starting alcohols with glycols such as ethylene or propylene glycol

Glycol ethers are versatile solvents used across various industries. In the paint and coatings sector, they enhance product flow and drying times. They're key in the production of inks, ensuring proper consistency and drying. Glycol ethers also serve as effective cleaning agents in household and industrial cleaners, cutting through grease and grime. In the electronics industry, they're utilized in semiconductor manufacturing for their precision cleaning properties. Their balance of solubility and volatility makes glycol ethers indispensable in formulations requiring controlled evaporation rates.
