glycol ethers

Glycol ethers are a group of chemicals used primarily as solvents in many products like paints, cleaning agents, and industrial coatings. They help dissolve other substances, improve application, and enhance product performance. These chemicals contain both an ether group and a glycol (a type of alcohol), which gives them their unique solvent properties. While effective, some glycol ethers can pose health risks if inhaled or come into prolonged skin contact, so proper handling and ventilation are important. Overall, they are valuable industrial ingredients, but safety precautions are essential when working with them.
