  • Applications

    Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate (CAS 88917-22-0) is a high-boiling, polar aprotic solvent used as a processing aid across several industries. It commonly serves as a solvent in coatings and paints, as well as inks and varnishes, helping dissolve resins and adjust formulation viscosity. It is also used in adhesives and sealants as a carrier solvent, and in cleaning formulations and degreasers for removing oils and residues. In polymer processing and resin formulation, it can function as a co-solvent or diluent to improve pigment dispersion and film formation. In electronics/manufacturing, it may be used as a solvent in photoresist formulations or related cleaning steps, subject to formulation requirements and local regulations.
