General description

1-Methoxy-2-propanol is one of the most common propylene-based glycol ethers that find potential use in several industrial and commercial applications, major use being as a component of paints, varnishes, inks, etc. It is often utilized as a less potent substitute for short-chained ethylene glycol ethers.

Features and Benefits

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Monoethers, especially propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME), are widely used as pollution-free solvents in fine chemical synthesis in pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries".
