Glycol Ether DPM is a mid to slow evaporating solvent that has 100% water solubility and is ideally suited as a coupling agent in a wide range of solvent systems. This product has a higher flash point than Glycol Ether PM / Dowanol PM, making it easier to handle, store, and ship.

Used in:
• Water and solvent-based coatings
• Household and industrial cleaners, grease and paint removers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners
• Vat dyeing fabrics
• Cosmetic formulations
• Agricultural herbicides

Advantages:
• Powerful solvency
• Moderate evaporation rate
• 100% water solubility
• High dilution ratio
• Excellent coupling ability

Benefits and Applications

Coatings: Glycol Ether DPM provides good solvency for a wide variety of resins including acrylic, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, nitrocellulose and polyurethanes. Glycol Ether DPM has a relatively low vapor pressure (volatility) and evaporates at a slow rate. Key properties for coating applications include complete water miscibility and good coupling ability.

Cleaners: Surface tension reduction and slow evaporation are some of the benefits of using Glycol Ether DPM in cleaning formulations. Glycol Ether DPM has a low odor and slow evaporation rate. It is a good choice for wax strippers and floor cleaners, which are spread over a large area. When used in an enclosed area, a floor cleaner containing a fast-evaporating solvent might produce an undesirable amount of solvent vapor. Glycol Ether DPM provides good solvency for polar and non-polar materials.

Other Applications: The properties listed in the previous section also support the use of Glycol Ether DPM in agricultural, cosmetic, electronic, ink, textile and adhesive products.
