Product Data and Technical Information
Corporate Statement
Propylene Glycol Ethers (PGEs) are high-performance industrial solvents for paints and coatings, cleaners, inks, and a variety of other applications. These P-series glycol ethers have become the solvents of choice for reformulations and new product development. Propylene glycol ethers are based on reacting propylene oxide with varying chain alcohols.
Benefits & Applications
Glycol Ether PM provides good solvency for a wide variety of resins including acrylic, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, nitrocellulose and polyurethanes. Key properties for coating reformulation also include complete water miscibility and good coupling ability.
Glycol Ether PM is a good substitute for E-series solvents; particularly, EM (ethylene glycol methyl ether) and EE (ethylene glycol ethyl ether).
Low toxicity, surface tension reduction, and fast evaporation are some of the benefits of using Glycol Ether PM in cleaning formulations. It also provides good solvency for polar and nonpolar materials.
