1-propoxy-2-propanol

1-Propoxy-2-propanol (CAS 1569-01-3), sold commercially as PROPASOL Solvent P, is a glycol ether solvent used across coatings, cleaning, and printing applications. Its balanced evaporation rate and compatibility with both water-based and solvent-based systems make it a practical choice.

Formulators managing solvency and film formation find this chemical highly effective. In coatings and industrial paints, it functions as a coalescing solvent and viscosity modifier, improving flow and leveling in architectural and automotive finishes.

Flexographic and gravure ink formulators use it to control drying speed and maintain pigment dispersion stability on press. This ensures high-quality results during the printing process across various industrial substrates.

Industrial and institutional cleaning products rely on it as an active solvent for cutting through grease, oils, and soils on hard surfaces. It provides the necessary strength for heavy-duty degreasing applications.

Adhesive and sealant manufacturers incorporate it to adjust open time and improve substrate wetting in solvent-borne formulations. This versatility makes it a staple in chemical manufacturing and product development.

The material is supplied as a clear liquid in drums, IBCs, and bulk tanker quantities. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity typically at 99% or above for most industrial uses.

Specifications are generally aligned with industrial solvent standards, and material is available with full regulatory documentation. This includes REACH compliance and SDS to ensure safety and environmental standards are met.
