Is Ethylene Glycol Diacetate the same material as EGDA?

Yes. EGDA is the common abbreviation for Ethylene Glycol Diacetate, also called glycol diacetate or 1,2-diacetoxyethane. The material identity is CAS 111-55-7.

Is EGDA selected mainly for fast or slow solvent release?

EGDA is generally used where a slower-evaporating ester solvent is required. Actual drying and film-formation behavior depend on the complete solvent blend, resin, coating thickness and curing process.

Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA) CAS 111-55-7

Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA), CAS 111-55-7, is a slow-evaporating ester solvent for industrial coatings, printing inks and resin formulations. Dimethyl Adipate (DMA) is a related ester solvent for coating and ink formulation. Also known as Glycol diacetate. COA, TDS and SDS are included with product documentation.

Product Introduction

Ethylene Glycol Diacetate (EGDA) (CAS 111-55-7) is supplied as a slow-evaporating diester solvent for industrial coating, ink and resin systems. We offer EGDA where the formulation requires a longer solvent window for controlled flow-out in the specified resin system. The offered grade is confirmed against the existing solvent blend and drying or baking process.

Applications

Baking lacquers and enamels requiring a slow solvent to support film flow and appearance.
Thermoplastic acrylic coatings using EGDA as a reflow solvent.
Graphic-arts and selected screen-ink systems specifying a slow-evaporating ester solvent.
Foundry core-binding applications in which ethylene glycol diacetate is part of the established process.
Industrial coating and resin formulations requiring a defined diester-solvent component.

Grade and Supply Details

We confirm the required assay, acidity, water, colour and test method against the stated formulation. EGDA is normally offered as a clear, colourless liquid in 200 kg steel drums, 1000 kg IBCs or bulk arrangements. A batch COA, with the applicable TDS and SDS, is available for the offered material.

For related ester solvent pages used in coatings, inks and resin systems, compare Butyl Glycol Acetate, 1,2-Propylene Diacetate, and 2-Acetoxy-1-methoxypropane.
