Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (EGMEA), also known as 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, is a colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor. It is a solvent commonly used in coatings, inks, and adhesives. EGMEA is synthesized by the esterification of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether with acetic acid. It is known to be a good solvent for a wide range of organic compounds and has relatively low toxicity. EGMEA's low volatility and good solvency make it a desirable solvent for many applications. Researchers study EGMEA due to its potential applications in various industries and to ensure its safe handling and environmental impact are understood.'
