Used primarily as a solvent in various industrial applications, it effectively dissolves resins, oils, and cellulose derivatives. Commonly found in coatings, dyes, and inks due to its ability to improve flow and adhesion. It is also utilized in the formulation of cleaning agents and degreasers. In electronics manufacturing, it serves as a carrier solvent for conductive inks and in photolithography processes. Additionally, it has been used in some brake fluids and as a coupling agent in water-based systems to enhance solubility of organic components. However, 2-Methoxyethanol is toxic to the reproductive system and liver, and should be handled with care under appropriate controls.
