ETHYL CELLOSOLVE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Ethyl cellosolve, also known as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, is a colorless liquid with a mild odor, represented by the chemical formula C4H10O2. It is used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning products. Ethyl cellosolve is relatively non-toxic but can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
