CAS 109-86-4 2-Methoxyethanol, or methyl cellosolve; ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, is an organic compound with formula C3H8O2 that is used mainly as a solvent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. Methyl cellosolve (cas no 109-86-4) is in a class of solvents known as glycol ethers which are notable for their ability to dissolve a variety of different types of chemical compounds and for their miscibility with water and other solvents.

What is the function of methyl cellulose?
Methyl cellulose / Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME) is a multifunctional solvent and additive in coatings, primarily functioning in the following ways:
1. Solvent function: CAS 109-86-4 Methyl Cellosolve effectively dissolves resins, film-forming substances, and pigments in coatings, ensuring uniform dispersion of components and improving coating stability and application performance.
2. Drying regulation: Its moderate evaporation rate slows down the surface drying time of coatings, preventing defects such as orange peel and pinholes caused by excessively rapid drying, especially suitable for spray coating processes.
3. Leveling and adhesion: EGME reduces the surface tension of coatings, promotes film leveling, reduces brush or roller marks, and enhances the adhesion between the coating and the substrate.
4. Viscosity control: As a diluent, it can adjust the viscosity of coatings to meet the needs of different application methods (such as spraying and brushing).
Furthermore, Methyl Cellosolve's good compatibility with water and most organic solvents makes it widely used in water-based, oil-based, and mixed coating systems. However, due to its volatile organic compound (VOC) and certain toxicity, its use must adhere to environmental standards, and it is gradually being replaced by more environmentally friendly propylene glycol ethers. In industrial coatings, automotive paints, and wood coatings, EGME is still cautiously selected due to its overall performance, but enhanced ventilation and protective measures are necessary.
