I think all glycol ether should be disclosed in all products / not an option for the product developer,

and most especially in home cleaning products which is now not required by law   *

What does EPA think about glycol ethers today?   *

Usable glycol ethers include propylene glycol methyl ether (CAS No. 107-98-2), dipropylene glycol methyl ether (CAS No. 34590-94-8), ethylene glycol n-butyl ether MSDS (CAS No. 111-76-2), and propylene glycol t-butyl ether

(CAS No. 57018-52-7), which is the most preferred supplemental solvent for use in the practice of the present invention.

 

Names (NTP) synonyms for propylene glycol t-butyl ether
