Overview of Methoxy Propanol
Methoxy Propanol (also known as Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether / PGM) is a clear, low-viscosity, highly soluble glycol ether solvent widely used in coatings, inks, cleaners, electronics, and chemical synthesis. It offers excellent solvency, moderate evaporation rate, and low odor, making it a preferred choice for water-based and solvent-based formulations.
Methoxy Propanol is commonly used in paints & coatings, printing inks, household & industrial cleaners, semiconductor manufacturing, and surface treatment chemicals. Its strong solvency and compatibility with resins make it an important raw material in many industrial applications.
Other related solvents available on our website include Ethoxy Propanol, Butyl Glycol, Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (Methyl Carbitol), and Propylene Glycol. These chemicals are widely used in coatings, dyes, cleaners, and electronics processing.
