Applications
2,3-Dimethylbutane-2,3-diol;methoxymethane is a diol and a simple ether with common industrial applications: as a polyol intermediate for polyurethane and polyester polymer synthesis; as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis; used as a solvent or processing aid in coating, ink, and cleaning formulations; in its methoxymethane form (dimethyl ether) it serves as a solvent for a range of industrial processes and as an aerosol propellant in some applications; applications depend on local regulations and formulation limits.
