Product Data and Technical Information
Corporate Statement
Propylene Glycol Ethers (PGEs) are high-performance industrial solvents for paints and coatings, cleaners, inks, and a variety of other applications. These P-series glycol ethers have become the solvents of choice for reformulations and new product development. Propylene glycol ethers are based on reacting propylene oxide with varying chain alcohols.
Benefits & Applications
Glycol Ether PE provides good solvency for a wide variety of resins including acrylic, epoxy, alkyd, polyester, nitrocellulose and polyurethane.
A low order of toxicity, surface tension reduction, and fast evaporation are some of the benefits of using Glycol Ether PE in cleaning formulations. It also provides good solvency for polar and non-polar materials.
Properties of Glycol Ether PE also supports the use in electronics, ink, textile and adhesive products. Specific end uses may require approval by appropriate regulatory agencies.
