2-Methoxyethanol, also known as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or methyl cellosolve, is a common solvent.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Methyl cellosolve is both a primary alcohol and an ether.
Physical
Methyl cellosolve is a colorless liquid, with an ethereal odor. It is miscible with water and most organic solvents.
Availability
Many OTC paint and dye solvents have this compound in their composition. Fractional distillation is required to isolate the compound.
Preparation
Industrially, methyl cellosolve is produced by the reaction of methanol with ethylene oxide.
Projects
- Paint stripper
Handling
Safety
Methyl cellosolve is an endocrine disruptor. It is toxic to the bone marrow and testes.
Storage
2-Methoxyethanol should be kept in closed bottles. BHT is sometimes added as stabilizer.[1]
Disposal
Incineration outside should suffice.
