CELLOSOLVE ACETATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Cellosolve acetate, also known as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate or EGEE acetate, is a colorless solvent with a mild odor and the formula C6H12O3. It is commonly used in paints, coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations due to its strong solvency and controlled evaporation rate. When evaluating compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, solvent resistance must be carefully considered to prevent swelling or softening. Proper handling, ventilation, and storage practices are essential to maintain safety and long-term rubber sealing performance.
