(Ethylenedioxy)dimethanol EDDM CAS 3586-55-8
Name: EDDM 92%
CAS: 3586-55-8
Chemical formula: C4H10O4
Appearance: Colorless or yellowish transparent liquid
EDDM is a high concentration of formaldehyde slow release fungicide, low toxicity, high efficiency and both gas phase sterilization ability, suitable for a variety of humid environment to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, prevent the generation of corruption and malodor, to ensure the safe operation of the system.
EDDM (Ethylenedioxydimethanol) is a highly effective and versatile biocide widely used in various industries for its exceptional antimicrobial properties. It is produced through a sophisticated synthetic process that involves the condensation reaction of ethylene glycol and formaldehyde. The final product is a clear, colorless liquid with excellent stability and solubility. EDDM finds extensive application as a biocide in various industries. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity enables effective control of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae. It is commonly used in water treatment systems, paints and coatings, adhesives, textiles, and personal care products.

(ethylenedioxy)dimethanol (eddm) Application
(ethylenedioxy)dimethanol (EDDM), also known as ethylene glycol hemiacetal, is an important raw material for organic chemical synthesis with a wide range of applications in several fields. The following is a specific introduction about EDDM applications:
1. Antiseptic and fungicide:
*EDDM, as a broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, low-toxicity antiseptic fungicide, has the advantages of rapid onset of action, good stability, higher oil solubility, and non-skin sensitiser.
*It can effectively control bacteria and fungi and prevent bacteria from developing resistance to a certain extent.
*It can be widely used in water-based metalworking fluids, coatings, adhesives and other products, and also has a certain scale in the field of drugs, dyes, plastics, rubber, water treatment and so on.
*Use: As a field working fluid use add in 0.3-0.5%, as a tank anti-corrosion add in 0.1-0.3%.
2. Synthetic intermediates:
* In the field of drugs and dyestuffs, EDDM can be used as synthetic intermediates for the preparation of antibiotics, anticancer drugs, and dyestuffs in the textile and leather industries.
3. Plasticiser and crosslinker:
*In the plastics and rubber industry, EDDM can be used as plasticizers and cross-linking agents to improve the flexibility and anti-aging properties of plastics as well as the strength and abrasion resistance of rubber products.
4. New energy material field:
*With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the application of EDDM in the field of new energy materials is gradually emerging.
5. Environmental protection and sustainability:
*With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the research of green synthesis process will promote the sustainable development of EDDM preparation process.
6. Physical Properties:
*EDDM has the appearance of colourless to light yellow liquid with aldehydic odour, density between 1.248 – 1.260 g/ml, boiling point 89.6°C, good water solubility.
