DOWANOL DPMA Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate 88917-22-0 Dow Chemical Solvent >> Glycols & glycol ether Acrylic/Acrylate Resins Alkyd Resins Epoxy Resins Polyester Coatings >> Solventborne Inks >> Solvent-based INKS >> Screen inks DOWANOL* DPMA glycol ether provides many of the same properties as DOWANOL PMA glycol ether, but with a slower evaporation rate and a lower flammability rating. DOWANOL DPMA is rated as a Class III combustible, making it easier to handle, store, and ship. This product is among the lowestviscosity embers of the family of DOWANOL glycol ethers. The molecule is capped with an acetate group, which reduces its polarity and reduces the solvent’s viscosity. The acetate group also eliminates the presence of the reactive hydrogen found in other glycol ethers; thus, DOWANOL DPMA glycol ether is an excellent solvent choice for urethanes and other proton-sensitive systems. DOWANOL DPMA glycol ether provides excellent active solvency for a very wide range of resin types, including acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, and many others. It possesses powerful solvency, moderate evaporation rate, low viscosity, high dilution ratio, low surface tension, coupling ability, wide range of applications. It possesses powerful solvency, coalescing ability, high dilution ratio, moderate evaporation rate, viscosity control. It is used as an active solvent for solvent-based coatings and silk screen printing inks, tailing solvent for solvent-based coatings. Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate. Used in coatings and silk screen printing inks. Possesses powerful solvency. Offers high dilution rate and moderate evaporation rate.
