Description
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate (DPMA) is a glycol ether ester solvent registered under CAS 88917-22-0 and EC 406-880-6. It is commercially available as Dowanol DPMA and Arcosolv DPMA, with no assigned E-code. The molecular formula is C9H18O4.
In industrial coatings and printing inks, DPMA functions as a slow-evaporating solvent that extends open time and improves flow and levelling in high-solids and UV-curable formulations. In electronics manufacturing, it dissolves photoresist resins and flux residues due to its strong solvency for polar and semi-polar polymers.
DPMA is supplied in standard industrial grades and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. It is classified under HS code 29153900 for customs purposes. Typical packaging includes drums and IBC containers, with documentation available to support procurement and formulation compliance workflows.
