Glycol ethers form family of solvents based on alkyl ethers of propylene glycol or ethylene glycol. E-series glycol ether is made from ethylene oxide as a raw material and hence called as e-series. On attachment of repetitive units of ethylene oxide group’s e-series can have mono, di, and tri-ethylene glycol ethers. E-series glycol ether are characterised by their strong compatibility with water and also with various organic solvents. The other important properties of e-series glycol ether includes low volatility, solvent strength, and ability to act as coupling agents promoting the miscibility of organic and aqueous phases. E-series glycol ether find wide applications in cleaning, pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetic, act as plasticizer in plastic resins and solvents in paints etc. The high molecular weight e-series glycol ether are commonly used as fluids in hydraulic brakes. The global e-series glycol ether market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period with increasing use of e-series glycol ether in various industries.
Global E-series Glycol Ether Market: Drivers and Restraints:
The global e-series glycol ether market is primarily driven by the increasing demand from various applications. Cleaning, paint and cosmetic are some of the most important applications which drives the global e-series glycol ether market. Also, global e-series glycol ether market is driven by the increasing use of e-series glycol ether as medicine extraction in pharma industries. Some of the regulations for e-series glycol ether are REACH, Predicted No Effect Concentrations (PNEC) and Derived No Effect Levels (DNEL), Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
However, the low molecular weight e-series glycol ether (ethylene glycol ethyl ether (EGEE), ethylene glycol methyl ether (EGME), possess health hazards to humans and also to animals due to its toxicity. Besides, European Union and Canada has adopted regulations in limiting its use in consumer goods. These factors might restrain the growth of global e-series glycol ether market.
