Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Application
1. Solvent, dispersant, or diluent: Used in the coatings, inks, printing and dyeing, pesticides, cellulose, and acrylate industries. Also used as a fuel antifreeze, cleaning agent, extractant, and non-ferrous metal beneficiation agent. It can also be used as a raw material for organic synthesis.
2. Primarily used as an excellent solvent for nitrocellulose, alkyd resins, and maleic anhydride-modified phenolic resins; used as an antifreeze for jet engines and an additive for brake fluids; used as a solvent for inks, textile dyes, and textile oils; water-based coatings made from it are widely used in the automotive industry.
3. Widely used in coatings and cleaning agents. Specific applications include: active solvent for water-based coatings; active solvent and coupling agent for solvent-based printing inks; solvent for ballpoint pen and fountain pen inks; coupling agent and solvent for household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, and hard surface cleaners; solvent for agricultural pesticides; and dry glass cleaner mixed with propylene glycol ether.
