Product Description
Eastman DE (Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether) solvent is a very polar, slow evaporating, water-miscible solvent with a mild odor. It is an active solvent for cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, epoxy resins, and other coating materials. Eastman DE solvent is used as a coalescing aid in latex paints and floor polishes, and as a penetrating solvent in wood stains. Eastman DE solvent is often used in cosmetic formulations as a coupling agent to solubilize or compatibilize ingredients which are difficult to incorporate into typical oil-in-water emulsions. Because of its excellent solubilizing effect, DE solvent can enhance skin absorption of active ingredients. The INCI (cosmetic ingredient) name of Eastman DE solvent is Ethoxydiglycol.

Eastman DE Solvent (Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether) is an Eastman Performance Solvent.
