Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA)

EGDA is a colorless, low-odor, slow-evaporating solvent with a mild fruity odor. Its high boiling point and strong solvency make it an excellent choice for coatings, inks, and industrial cleaning applications. It is also used as an organic ester curing agent in foundry resin systems and as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. This product offers a safer alternative to high-VOC solvents like cyclohexanone or isophorone.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between EGDA and DBE?

A: EGDA has a faster evaporation rate than DBE (dibasic esters), making it a better choice when you need a quicker dry-to-touch time in coil or wood coatings. It also offers similar solvency with lower viscosity, often at a more competitive price point. Both are high-boiling, low-VOC alternatives to traditional solvents.

Q: Is EGDA a regulated hazardous material for shipping?

A: EGDA has a flash point above 88°C (Tag closed cup), which is above the typical 60°C threshold for Class 3 flammables. It is generally not classified as a dangerous good for sea transport under IMDG Code, but we still provide full MSDS, COA, and shipping documentation for customs clearance. Always check local regulations as classification may vary.

Q: How do you prevent hydrolysis and moisture contamination during storage and transit?

A: EGDA is prone to hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids/bases or prolonged moisture exposure. We use double-sealed drum lids and moisture-barrier liners for export shipments. We also recommend storing drums indoors and avoiding temperature extremes. Water content is tested before filling and guaranteed at ≤0.1% upon delivery.
