Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA), also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, has a molecular formula of C6H12O3, a colorless hygroscopic liquid with a special odor. It is a non-pollution solvent with polyfunctional groups. Flammable, and an explosive steam/air mixture may form above 42°C. It is mainly used in ink, paint, ink, textile dyes, textile oil agents, and can also be used as cleaning agents in the production of liquid crystal displays.


Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) is a solvent that has both ether bonds and carbonyl groups in its molecules. The carbonyl group forms an ester structure and contains alkyl groups. In the same molecule, there are both non-polar parts and polar parts. The functional groups of these two parts are both mutually restricted and repelled, and each plays an inherent role. Therefore, it has a certain dissolution ability for non-polar substances and polar substances.


application:

1. In the coating industry, as a diluent and leveling agent, it helps to improve the coating properties, fluidity and adhesion of the coating, making the coating easier to apply and use. Almost all fibers and resin varnishes and latexes use propylene glycol methyl ether acetate as solvent. For example, it can be widely used in car paint, TV paint, refrigerator paint, aircraft paint and other paints.

2. In the field of chemical products, it can be used as a solvent for synthetic resins, cellulose ethers, polyurethanes, etc., which helps to improve the transparency, flexibility, durability and other properties of the product.
