What is 2-Methoxyethanol ?
Description
Methoxyethanol is a glycol ether that has been known since the 1920s, but its use significantly increased in the 1970s. Cellosolve was a solvent product containing glycol ethers and registered in the 1920s by Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corp. Glycol ethers are derived from either ethylene oxide (E-series) or propylene oxide (p-series) combined with an alcohol. Methoxyethanol is an E-series glycol ether derived from methanol and ethylene oxide. Other commonly used glycol ethers include ethoxyethanol, butoxyethanol, and methoxypropanol. Use of methoxyethanol has declined in recent years due to risk management procedures and replacement by other substances.
The Uses of 2-Methoxyethanol
2-Methoxyethanol is considered a non-comedogenic raw material. It is used as a solvent in nail products and as a stabilizer in cosmetic emulsions. It is able to penetrate the skin and may cause skin irritation.
