Dipropylene Glycol n-Propyl Ether (CAS 29911-27-1) is a colorless, slow-evaporating glycol ether liquid with a mild odor, primarily utilized as a highly efficient coupling agent and solvent in heavy-duty degreasers, paint strippers, and hard-surface cleaners. This 1-(1-methyl-2-propoxyethoxy)propan-2-ol compound functions as a superior coalescent and viscosity reducer in Dipropylene glycol propyl ether systems, offering an optimal balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that facilitates the solubilization of organic soils and resins in water-reducible formulations. To support industrial-scale requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure rigorous quality control through customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Dipropylene Glycol n-Propyl Ether (CAS 29911-27-1) considered a volatile organic compound (VOC)?
A: It is generally classified as a solvent with low volatility, but regulatory VOC status varies by jurisdiction; its slow evaporation rate (C9H20O3) makes it suitable for formulations requiring extended open times. -
Q:
What is the primary advantage of DPnP over DPM (Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether)?
A: DPnP possesses a longer hydrophobic propyl chain compared to the methyl group in DPM, providing significantly stronger solvency for oils, greases, and hydrophobic resins while maintaining water solubility.
