Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (DPMA) (CAS NO : 88917-22-0)

DPMA (Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate) or (Dipropyleneglycol methyl ether acetate) also called PPG 2 is a polar, slow-evaporating glycol ether ester used as a solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and cleaning formulations. DPMA generally provides high solvency for a multiple variety of resins and is valued for its low odor, good compatibility, and high flash point. Glycol ether PMA improves flow, leveling, and film formation, especially in water-based and high-solid systems. DPMA is also a Coalescing Agent for Low-VOC Film-Forming Additive. DPMA is preferred by paint manufacturers, coating formulators, and ink producers as it has strong solvency and flow enhancement properties. Popular in both solvent- and water-based applications due to its versatility and regulatory acceptance in low-VOC systems. Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate annotation moved to Cas no: 1992904-38-7. On the other hand DPM (Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether) (Glycol ether (–OH)) is a solvent known for its free hydroxyl group, which makes it more water-attracting (hydrophilic) and chemically reactive. This gives it an edge in applications that require good solubility and faster reactivity, especially in water-based systems. Because of these differences, DPM and DPMA are used in different ways depending on the performance needs of the formulation.
