Dow UCAR ESTER EEP Ethyl Ethoxypropionate

Dow UCAR ESTER EEP (Ethyl Ethoxypropionate) is a high-purity, low-odor, slow-evaporating solvent in Dow’s UCAR ESTER series—ideal for coatings, inks, and electronics cleaning. It offers excellent solvency for acrylics, cellulose esters, and epoxies, with low toxicity and favorable VOC profile versus traditional glycol ethers.

Features Of Dow UCAR ESTER EEP Ethyl Ethoxypropionate

  1. Low volatility with extended open time for improved film formation in coatings.

  2. High solvency power for acrylic, epoxy, and alkyd resins without excessive odor or toxicity.

  3. Favorable evaporation rate profile—slower than ethyl acetate but faster than dibasic esters—enabling balanced drying control.

  4. Low water solubility (<1 wt%) minimizes clouding and phase separation in moisture-sensitive formulations.

  5. Compatible with common co-solvents including alcohols, glycol ethers, and hydrocarbons.

Typical Applications Of Dow UCAR ESTER EEP Ethyl Ethoxypropionate

  1. Automotive OEM and refinish coatings requiring high-gloss, defect-free films.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. High-performance architectural coatings, including premium interior and exterior enamels.

  4. UV-curable hybrid systems where solvent retention aids leveling before cure initiation.

  5. Inkjet inks for wide-format printing demanding precise rheology and rapid substrate wetting.
