High-purity ethylene glycol (≥99.9% assay) ensures consistent performance in precision polishing and stripping formulations.
Low volatility and high boiling point (197 °C) enable stable operation in elevated-temperature industrial processes.
Excellent solvency for resins, photoresists, and organic contaminants without aggressive corrosion to stainless steel or aluminum equipment.
Hydrophilic nature supports effective water-miscibility and uniform dispersion in aqueous-based polishing and stripping blends.
Non-volatile residue-free evaporation profile minimizes post-process cleaning requirements and surface contamination risks.
Key co-solvent in CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization) slurries for semiconductor wafer polishing.
Active carrier and viscosity modifier in photoresist strippers for flat panel display (FPD) and OLED manufacturing.
Stabilizing agent in metal surface preparation solutions for aerospace component finishing and anodizing pretreatment.
Performance enhancer in industrial-grade paint and coating removers for precision electronics enclosures.
Reaction medium and heat-transfer component in specialty polymer synthesis for optical-grade polishing additives.

Q1: What is the CAS number for this ethylene glycol grade?
A: The CAS Registry Number is 107-21-1. This refers specifically to high-purity, monoethylene glycol meeting ASTM D1096 and SEMI C37 specifications.
Q2: What is the typical recommended dosage when formulating a semiconductor photoresist stripper?
A: Dosage ranges from 5–15% w/w in final formulated strippers, depending on resist type and process temperature; optimization via lab-scale compatibility testing is strongly advised.
Q3: How does this ethylene glycol differ from technical-grade material in stripping applications?
A: This grade features ultra-low aldehyde (<10 ppm), chloride (<1 ppm), and heavy metal impurities—critical to prevent micro-roughness, residue formation, or catalytic degradation of sensitive resist layers.
Q4: Is this material suitable for use in medical device cleaning validation studies?
A: Yes—it meets USP <841> and EP 2.2.47 requirements for residual solvent testing; extractables profiling data (per USP <1663>) is available upon request for Class II/III device manufacturers.
