use
It is used as a solvent, dispersant or thinner in industries such as coatings, inks, printing and dyeing, pesticides, cellulose, acrylates, etc. It can also be used as fuel antifreeze, cleaning agent, extractant, non-ferrous metal beneficiator, etc. It can also be used as a raw material for organic synthesis.
Application
1-Methoxy-2-propanol (CAS 107-98-2), also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PM), is a fast-evaporating glycol ether solvent with excellent solvency for a wide range of resins, oils, and polymers. It is widely used in industrial coatings, paints, printing inks, and floor polishes as a coalescing agent, flow modifier, and leveling aid, improving film formation and gloss. In cleaning applications, PM effectively removes grease, flux residues, and contaminants from metal parts, electronic components, and precision instruments. It also serves as a solvent in agrochemical formulations, textile printing pastes, and leather finishes. In the electronics industry, it is used in photoresist diluents and wafer cleaning. Additionally, 1-methoxy-2-propanol acts as a carrier solvent in personal care products and as a deicing agent. Its low toxicity and moderate evaporation rate make it a preferred alternative to ethylene glycol ethers.
