What is Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate?
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate (CAS 88917-22-0), abbreviated DPMA and sold as Dowanol DPMA, is a slow-evaporating glycol ether ester solvent.
Where is Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate used?
- Industrial and architectural coatings: smooth film formation in high-solids and waterborne systems
- Electronics: photoresist stripping and cleaning formulations, solvency for resinous residues
- Flexographic and gravure inks: viscosity and drying profile management on high-speed lines
- Adhesives and sealants: coalescing solvent aiding substrate wetting and adhesion
- It slows solvent release and improves flow.
Good to know: Purity levels and moisture content specifications vary by supplier, so buyers should confirm conformance.
Commercial specifications
- Clear liquid in drums and IBC totes, with bulk availability
