FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are PGMEA, PMA and Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate the same solvent?
A: Yes. PGMEA and PMA are common names for propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, CAS 108-65-6. They should not be confused with propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PM), dipropylene glycol methyl ether or a different PM acetate isomer. State the CAS number and isomer or grade where required. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for industrial PGMEA?
A: Set assay by gas chromatography, water, acidity as acetic acid, color, distillation range, glycol ether content and nonvolatile residue with the test methods. ASTM D4835 identifies purity, color, water, distillation and acidity as key properties. Electronics or coating users may need additional trace-metal limits.
