Q1: Will DEC affect drying times in coatings?
A: DEC is relatively low-volatility compared with many conventional solvents, so it can act as a coalescent and slow drying/evaporation; formulators should adjust solvent blends to achieve desired open time and cure profiles
Q2: Is special handling required for synthetic uses?
A: Use appropriate reaction controls, dry conditions where required, and follow standard laboratory safety for flammable/volatile organics; verify compatibility with catalysts and reagents

Q3: Are there safety concerns for vapor exposure?
A: Use local exhaust ventilation and PPE to limit inhalation of vapors; consult SDS for exposure limits and safe handling
