Product Chemical Properties:
1.It has the chemical properties of alcohols and ethers and can form esters with phthalic acid, ricinic acid and oleic acid.
2.Stability: Stable
3.Prohibited substances: Acetyl chloride, acid anhydride, strong oxidising agents
4.Conditions to avoid exposure Air: Air and light
5.Polymerisation hazard: Non-polymerisation
Product Application:
1.It is mainly used as solvent for oil, nitrocellulose, synthetic resin, alcohol soluble dyestuff and ethyl cellulose; used as fast drying agent for varnish and coating diluent in coating industry; used as penetrating agent and levelling agent in printing and dyeing industry; used as additive in fuel industry; used as dyeing auxiliaries in textile industry; used as intermediate in organic synthesis. Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether is mainly used as a high-boiling solvent for ink, dye, resin, cellulose and paint, and can be added into paint to make it easy to flow, brush and levelling, and can be used as an extractant for hydrocarbon, an intermediate for the preparation of ester derivatives in the organic synthesis industry and a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry. Polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether can be used as brake fluid.
2.It can be used as solvent of soluble dyestuff, printing ink, cortisone, etc. in alcohol and dispersant of pesticide, leather treatment agent and plasticiser.
3.Widely used as solvent and diluent of nitrofibre paint, varnish, enamel, etc.; inactive diluent of adhesive; solvent of all kinds of oils and fats, lignin, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, alcohol-soluble dyestuffs, printing ink and synthetic resin as well as dispersant of pesticide, leather treating agent, plasticizer, brightener, and intermediate for organic synthesis.
4.Used as a solvent.
Product Storage Notes:
1.Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. Packaging requirements sealed, not in contact with air.
2.It should be stored separately from oxidising agents, acids, etc., and should not be mixed. Should not be stored in large quantities or for a long time.
3.Equipped with appropriate varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable shelter materials.
