Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is a high-purity organic solvent predominantly used in the manufacturing of Lithium-ion batteries and advanced energy storage systems. It serves as a critical component in electrolyte formulations, providing the ideal balance of viscosity and dielectric constant to ensure efficient ion transport.

This asymmetric carbonate ester is valued for its superior electrochemical stability compared to symmetric carbonates, making it essential for high-performance electric vehicle (EV) batteries. As a Battery Grade solvent, it enhances low-temperature performance and extends the overall cycle life of rechargeable power cells.

Beyond energy applications, EMC acts as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and specialty chemical formulations requiring precise solvation properties. We supply this product with strict purity controls to meet the rigorous safety and quality standards demanded by the electronics and pharmaceutical sectors.

Ethyl methyl carbonate

  • Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes:Functions as a co-solvent to lower viscosity and improve the conductivity of electrolytes in EV and consumer electronic batteries.
  •  Chemical Synthesis: Used as a methylating and ethylating agent in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic intermediates.
  • Specialty Solvents: Acts as a high-performance solvent for resins, coatings, and adhesives where specific polarity and evaporation rates are required.

Ethyl methyl carbonate is a Flammable Liquid and vapor that must be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Handlers must strictly adhere to safety protocols, utilizing PPE such as chemical-resistant glovessafety goggles, and flame-retardant clothing to prevent skin contact and eye irritation.
