Ethyl 3-Ethoxypropionate - EEP

Ethyl 3-Ethoxypropionate is a type of ether-ester solvent that is slow evaporating and used as a coasting for polymers. With its linear structure and propionyl group in the center of the compound, the material has a lot of unique and desirable properties that aren’t found in other chemical compounds. This high performance solvent is versatile, though you'll most commonly find it being used in high solids bakeware.
