product description

Product Description of Ethylene Glycol Diacetate CAS#111-55-7

Ethylene Glycol Diacetate, also known as ethylene glycol diacetate, is a compound with an ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanol) backbone, in which each hydroxyl group is esterified with an acetate group (-O-C(=O)-CH₃). It is typically a clear, colorless liquid, occasionally slightly yellow, with an acetate-like odor. Its physical properties include a density of approximately 1.1043 g/mL (20°C), a melting point of -41°C, a boiling range of 185–190°C, a refractive index of 1.4162 (20°C), and an open-cup flash point of 96°C.

The compound exhibits typical ester characteristics and is readily hydrolyzed by strong alkalis or inorganic acids to yield ethylene glycol and acetic acid. For instance, reaction with sodium hydroxide breaks its ester bonds, producing the corresponding alcohol and carboxylate. Additionally, it is reactive in alcoholysis reactions and can serve as an acetate donor in organic synthesis processes.


Product Application of Ethylene Glycol Diacetate CAS#111-55-7

Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA) can serve as a solvent for oils, cellulose esters, explosives, and similar materials. It provides excellent flow properties in baking varnishes and enamels, particularly where thermoplastic acrylic resins are applied. EGDA is also an effective solvent for cellulosic coatings and can be used in certain ink systems, including screen printing inks. Additionally, it has applications as a fragrance fixative and finds use in waterborne adhesives.

EGDA can act as an acyl donor for in situ generation of peracetic acid in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of caprolactone. It also serves as a precursor in the enzymatic production of poly(ethylene glutarate).

FAQ

1. Why Supply Chain Transparency Matters in Global Chemical Procurement
Chemical buyers evaluate more than price and delivery time. Clear specifications, matching batch documents, consistent packaging information, and traceable logistics all affect customs clearance, warehouse inspection, and production use.
When selecting a supplier, buyers should review how the company confirms specifications, manages documents, handles changes, and responds to problems. Transparent processes help reduce order risks and improve long-term procurement reliability.


2. Seven Essential Details for a Chemical Product Inquiry
A product name alone is often insufficient for an accurate quotation. Buyers should provide the product name and CAS number, key specifications or purity, final application, required quantity, packaging requirements, destination, and expected delivery time or preferred Incoterms.
If COA, SDS, TDS, special labels, certifications, or registration documents are required, these details should also be included in the initial inquiry. Complete information helps suppliers confirm product, logistics, and documentation conditions more efficiently.


3. What Are the Differences Between COA, SDS, and TDS?
A COA is a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis showing test items, required ranges, and actual results. It is mainly used for quality verification and incoming inspection.
An SDS provides safety, handling, storage, emergency, and transportation information. A TDS describes typical product properties, technical parameters, and application guidance. Buyers should confirm the required document version, language, and applicable standards before placing an order.


4. Key Conditions to Confirm Before International Chemical Transportation
Before shipment, confirm the product identity, physical form, transport classification, and applicable regulations. An SDS is an important reference, but the final shipping arrangement must also meet regulatory and carrier requirements.
Packaging, sealing, moisture protection, palletizing, labels, ports, documents, Incoterms, and transport schedules should be clearly confirmed. Early verification helps prevent delays caused by carrier restrictions or incomplete documentation.


5. How to Evaluate Chemical Product Sample Test Results
Sample evaluation should consider both product compliance and application performance. Laboratory results do not always guarantee the same performance in every formulation or production process.
Before testing, record the sample batch, COA, storage condition, and sampling method. During application tests, keep consistent records of formulation, dosage, process conditions, and results. After approval, reconfirm the formal order specifications, inspection method, packaging, and batch documents.
