Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether is an organic solvent with a variety of industrial and commercial uses. [2] [3] It finds use as a less volatile alternative to propylene glycol methyl ether and other glycol ethers. The commercial product is typically a mixture of four isomers. [4]
Glycol ethers are designated "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.Typically, E-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while P-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.
Propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME or 1-methoxy-2-propanol) is an organic solvent with a wide variety of industrial and commercial uses. [3] Similar to other glycol ethers, it is used as a carrier/solvent in printing/writing inks and paints/coatings. It also finds use as an industrial and commercial paint stripper.
Dipropylene glycol finds many uses as a plasticizer, an intermediate in industrial chemical reactions, as a polymerization initiator or monomer, and as a solvent.Its low toxicity and solvent properties make it an ideal additive for perfumes and skin and hair care products.
Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA, 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate) is a P-type glycol ether used in inks, coatings, and cleaners. It is sold by Dow Chemical under the name Dowanol PMA, [ 3 ] by Shell Chemical under the name methyl proxitol acetate, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] and by Eastman under the name PM Acetate.
As is typical of ethers, dipropyl ether may slowly form explosive organic peroxides over long periods in storage. [2] Antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene are often added to ethers to prevent this process. [4] Due to the shock and light sensitive nature of organic peroxides, dipropyl ether should never be boiled or evaporated to dryness.

Diglyme, or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 OCH 2 CH 2) 2 O. It is a colorless liquid with a slight ether-like odor. It is a solvent with a high boiling point. It is the dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. The name diglyme is a portmanteau of diglycol methyl ether. It is miscible with water as ...
