CAS: 108-65-6
Glycol Ether PMA, propylene glycol methyl
ether acetate is a high potency solvent used extensively in the Plastic &
Rubber area. Glycol Ether PMA, unlike most other solvents has very distinct
properties and is best suited for applications where solvability and low
odour/solvent taste is a must. This is more important because of its property
that can dissolve many things which will improve end product performance.

Application in Plastic & Rubber
Primary usage of Glycol Ether PMA in the
field of Plastic & Rubber is a solvent for coatings, adhesives and sealants
in the industry. Excellent wetting properties giving excellent flow and
leveling of coatings, resulting to a paint film that is smooth uniform finish.
In addition it is the “carrier” of other chemical ingredients for the total
effect without providing a detrimental environmental load.
Other Industries of Application
Glycol Ether PMA finds applications in
several other sectors, including:
● Oil & Gas: The solvent commonly employed as
recovery and extraction processes for various types of oil.
● Construction: Application in paints and coatings to
enhance adhesion for long life
● Personal care: as a solvent in cosmetics and
personal care products.
● Food & Nutrition : Application in the
formulation for food flavoring, fragrance etc.
●
Pharma:
Formulation excipient for better solubility in pharmaceuticals.
