Storage method

Stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. should be kept away from oxidizer, do not store together. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. This product is a by-product of the industrial production of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Mix ethylene oxide and methanol, add them to the reactor after preheating. The reaction temperature is 150 to 200°C. The reaction pressure is 1.96~3.92MPa, and the excess of methanol is about 15%. In addition to the ethylene glycol monomethyl ether generated by the main reaction, the reaction product also contains diethylene glycol methyl ether and triethylene glycol methyl ether generated by the side reaction, and excess methanol. The four main components are separated through the alcohol recovery tower and three vacuum distillation towers. The methanol obtained is recycled and products such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether and triethylene glycol methyl ether are obtained.

Refined method : Dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate or calcium chloride and then fractionate.

2.Mainly adopt the ethylene oxide method and the ethylene glycol production by-product recovery method. Ethylene oxide method: Hydrolyze ethylene oxide to form diethylene glycol ether, which is then reacted with methanol. Ethylene glycol production by-product recovery method: react the scraps from ethylene glycol production with methanol and obtain it by distillation under reduced pressure.

Purpose

1. This product is used as a high-boiling point solvent for resins, cellulose, coatings, inks, and dyes, and as a diluent for adhesives. Added to paint to make it easier to flow, paint and level. Can be used as an extraction agent for hydrocarbons. It is used as an intermediate for the preparation of ester derivatives in the organic synthesis industry, brake fluid, and as a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry. Used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, resin, wood coloring dyes, stamp inks, printing inks, alcohol-soluble dyes, etc. Others are also used as hydrocarbon fuel modifiers and intermediates in the preparation of ester derivatives.

2. Cosmetic solvents. It is mainly used as the main solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish and is an excellent solvent for cellulose.
