Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (1Methoxy-2-Propanol)

Product Description

Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (PGME), also known as 1-Methoxy-2-Propanol, is a colorless, medium-volatility solvent with a mild odor. It combines excellent solvency power with low toxicity, making it ideal for use in paints, inks, coatings, and cleaning formulations.
Due to its balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, PGME is miscible with both water and many organic solvents, offering superior performance in water-based and solvent-based systems.
