Propylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether PGME CAS 1569-02-4

BLIT Chemical Propylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (PGME) is a colorless, low-odor, and water-soluble solvent widely used in industrial coatings, cleaning agents, paints, and printing inks. It is known for its excellent solvency and low evaporation rate, making it ideal for applications where smooth film formation and extended drying times are required. PGME also exhibits compatibility with a variety of resins and polymers, contributing to its versatility in chemical formulations.

High Solvency Power: Excellent solvency for a variety of resins and polymers, including acrylics, epoxies, and polyurethanes.

Slow Evaporation Rate: Helps to provide smooth finishes in paints and coatings by extending drying time and improving film formation.

Specification:

Application:

Coatings and Paints: PGME is commonly used as a solvent in industrial coatings, paints, and varnishes to improve flow and leveling properties.

Cleaning Agents: Due to its high solvency and water miscibility, it is used in degreasing agents and industrial cleaners for removing oils, greases, and other contaminants.

Printing Inks: Used as a solvent in printing inks to improve viscosity control and drying time.

Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a solvent or intermediate in the formulation of various chemical products, including pesticides and agrochemicals.

Usage Guidelines:

Handling: Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection, when handling Propylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, or open flames.

Concentration: In coatings and paints, concentrations typically range from 5-30%, depending on the desired properties and formulation requirements.
