What is Dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether?
Dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether (CAS 111109-77-4) is a high-boiling glycol ether solvent.
Where is Dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether used?
- Printing and packaging: slow-release solvent in inks, controlling flow and preventing premature drying on press
- Coatings: coalescing solvent in waterborne and solvent-borne systems, improving film formation and leveling
- Adhesives and sealants: reactive diluent and carrier solvent for viscosity adjustment
- Industrial and institutional cleaning: degreasing solvent in hard-surface cleaners
- Its low evaporation rate and strong solvency make it a carrier and process solvent where controlled drying is required.
Commercial specifications
- Purity typically 98% or higher
- Standard drum and IBC packaging
- Bulk tanker supply for high-volume customers
