Description
A clear liquid used as a solvent. Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate is commonly called by its trademark name of methyl Cellosolve® acetate. It is a powerful solvent that dissolves most natural resins and synthetic resins; it is used to make quick drying varnishes, enamels, inks, stains and nail polishes. Methyl Cellosolve® acetate is also used to print alcohol soluble dyes on textiles and to make photographic film.
