Triethylene Glycol DiAcetate
Triethylene Glycol DiAcetate (TEGDA) is a low-odour and readily biodegradable liquid used as a plasticiser, solvent, and intermediate across a wide range of industrial applications. It is commonly used within resins, coatings, adhesives, leather and textile processing, and foundry binding systems.
Compared to lower molecular weight glycol diacetates, TEGDA offers lower volatility, higher flash point characteristics, and enhanced permanence, making it suitable for formulations requiring extended processing time and strong solvency performance.
