Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (DPMA) 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.
