Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (DEGEEA)

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (DEGEEA) is a glycol ether ester solvent recognized for its strong solvency power, controlled evaporation rate, and broad compatibility with resins, polymers, and specialty additives. It is commonly used in high-performance coatings, inks, and adhesives, where it enhances flow, film formation, and application stability. Its balance of slow evaporation and strong solvency makes it particularly valuable in automotive, industrial, and protective coatings that require extended open time and durable finishes.

In addition to coatings, DEGEEA is applied in electronics cleaning and precision manufacturing, where its solvency profile enables effective removal of flux, oils, and residues without damaging delicate components. It is also used in chemical synthesis and industrial processing, where stability under demanding conditions is required. With its versatility, performance in complex systems, and ability to support advanced manufacturing processes, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate remains an essential solvent in industries including automotive, electronics, aerospace, coatings, and specialty chemicals.
