Product Application of 1-Ethoxy-2-propanol CAS#1569-02-4
1-Ethoxy-2-propanol is capable of generating 1-ethoxy-2-bromopropane after the chemical reaction with phosphorus tribromide, hence it works as a valuable synthetic precursor. In diverse industrial workflows, this chemical ingredient acts as a dissolving medium, dispersion additive and thinning agent. It finds broad-ranging utilisation within surface coating production, printing ink processing, textile printing-dyeing operations, agrochemical manufacturing, cellulose processing and acrylate-related sectors.
Apart from the above-mentioned uses, the compound can serve as fuel anti-freeze additive, separating extractant and flotation reagent applied during the ore-dressing treatment of non-ferrous metals.
