  • Applications

    1-Methoxy-1-propanol (CAS 13071-62-0) is primarily used as a solvent and processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives, where its polar profile supports dye and resin dissolution and a controllable evaporation rate. It also serves as a cleaning and degreasing solvent in electronics and general industrial equipment, and as a processing co-solvent or plasticizer-compatible component in certain polymer and plastic formulations. In chemical manufacturing, it functions as an intermediate for preparing specialty esters and ethers. Additionally, it may be used as a solvent or formulation aid in cosmetics/personal care products, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
