Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate, identifiable by CAS 108‑65‑6, functions as a slow-evaporating glycol ether solvent used primarily to regulate the drying rate in industrial paints and offset inks. Chemically defined as 1-Methoxy-2-propyl acetate , this clear, colorless liquid serves as a low-toxicity alternative to glycol ethers based on the ethylene oxide series. The substance, often referred to as PGMEA or PMA in coating formulations, acts as a high-solvency carrier for acrylic, epoxy, and polyester resins, and as a specialized solvent in the electronics industry for photoresist applications. We facilitate bulk supply of this organic solvent with competitive factory pricing, capable of meeting customized specifications for electronic grade purity, backed by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.
