PM Solvent – Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (PGME) – High Purity Solvent

Product Name: Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether

Common Name: PM Solvent / PGME

Chemical Formula: C₄H₁₀O₂

CAS Number: 107-98-2

Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid

Description

PM Solvent (Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether) is a versatile glycol ether solvent widely used in coatings, inks, cleaning products, and chemical formulations. It offers excellent solvency for a wide range of resins including acrylics, epoxies, and polyurethanes.

Due to its moderate evaporation rate, strong solvent power, and excellent water miscibility, PM Solvent is commonly used in both water-based and solvent-based systems.

Key Features

• Excellent solvent for many resins and polymers

• Medium evaporation rate

• Completely miscible with water and many organic solvents

• Good coupling ability in water-based formulations

• Low odour compared with many traditional solvents

• Improves flow and leveling in coatings

Common Applications

• Industrial and decorative coatings

• Water-based paints and coatings

• Printing inks

• Cleaning and degreasing formulations

• Electronic cleaners

• Chemical processing solvent

• Resin and coating formulations

Typical Properties

• Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid

• Boiling Point: ~120°C

• Density: ~0.92 g/cm³ (20°C)

• Flash Point: ~31°C

• Solubility: Completely miscible with water

Formulation Advantages

PM Solvent is commonly used in coatings and chemical formulations because it provides excellent resin solubility, controlled evaporation, and improved coating flow characteristics. It also functions as an effective coupling solvent in water-based systems.

Storage

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.

Safety

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full handling and safety information.
