2-Ethoxyethyl Acetate Industrial Solvent
Pure 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, also known as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, is a colorless liquid ester of acetic acid used primarily as a solvent in industrial coatings and inks. It falls under HTS 2915.39.80.00 as a specific saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester, distinct from other acetic acid derivatives. This chemical provides excellent solvency for resins and is valued for its slow evaporation rate in paint formulations.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ethyl acetate content exceeds 90% by volume
High-purity ethyl acetate falls under the specific ethyl acetate subheading earlier in numerical order per Chapter 29 classification rules.
If imported as a formulated paint solvent mixture
Mixtures of solvents not chemically defined as single compounds are classified in Chapter 38 as chemical preparations rather than pure organic compounds.
If pre-mixed with pigments for retail paint sales
Solvents incorporated into finished paints for retail are classified based on the paint composition under Chapter 32, not as individual chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure proper chemical classification documentation for CAS 111-15-9 to avoid misclassification
• Verify purity levels (>99%) as impurities may trigger reclassification; include certificate of analysis with import paperwork
• Comply with TSCA pre-notice requirements for new chemical imports and label containers with UN 1177 hazardous material markings
