Product Description
Eastman EP (ethylene glycol monopropyl ether) is a colorless, water-miscible solvent providing a slow evaporation rate, good viscosity control in waterborne resins, and high flash point. Eastman EP solvent has a milder, less detectable odor than most other glycol ethers, enhancing its use in coatings when mild odor is desirable. Eastman EP Solvent is completely water miscible over a wide range of temperatures.

Eastman EP Solvent (Ethylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether) is an Eastman Performance Solvent.
