FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is PGDA the same as Propylene Glycol Diacetate?
A: Yes. PGDA is the common abbreviation for Propylene Glycol Diacetate, also called 1,2-Propylene Diacetate or 1,2-Propanediol Diacetate. The CAS number is 623-84-7, and the product is a diester of propylene glycol and acetic acid. -
Q:
Which specifications and physical properties matter for PGDA?
A: Compare assay by GC, water, color/APHA, acid value, density, refractive index and distillation range. Typical PGDA is a clear colorless liquid with density about 1.05-1.06 g/cm³, boiling point about 185-191 °C and flash point about 87 °C; the final limits should match the coating, ink, cleaning or pharmaceutical use. -
Q:
What is 1,2-Propylene Diacetate used for?
A: PGDA is mainly used as a low-odor ester solvent and coalescing agent in paints, coatings, gravure and flexographic inks, and in electronics or precision cleaning. It is also used as a solvent or carrier in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, flavor and polymer processing applications where moderate evaporation and good resin solvency are useful. -
Q:
Can PGDA replace another ester or glycol ether solvent directly?
A: Do not assume direct replacement. PGDA has its own evaporation profile, polarity, water solubility and resin compatibility, so it should be tested in the target formulation before changing solvents. Confirm the resin system, drying or curing profile, dosage range and required final coating or ink properties. -
Q:
How should PGDA be stored and handled?
A: Store in tightly closed, compatible containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidizers. Use adequate ventilation and standard chemical protective equipment, and state the required assay, application and packaging in the RFQ.
