applications:

The primary use of glycol ethers is as industrial solvents, because they are miscible with both water and organic liquids. Glycol ether EM is most commonly used for resins, dyes, and varnishes. It’s the smallest possible glycol ether chain, so is therefore the most hydrophilic and most volatile glycol ether in our product range.
