  • Applications

    Dipropyleneglycol monomethyl ether, CAS 13588-28-8, is commonly used as a solvent and co-solvent in coatings and inks, aiding pigment dispersion and film formation; in cosmetics and personal care it serves as a solvent and humectant; in household cleaning products it acts as a solvent and carrier for cleaners and degreasers; in industrial manufacturing it is used as a general solvent for formulation components and as a processing aid for polymer systems; in adhesives it functions as a solvent and flow modifier to improve spread and cure; in polymer and plastics processing it acts as a co-solvent or processing aid in resin formulations and additive packages.
