The solvent features a low freezing point, high boiling point, and low viscosity. It is miscible in any ratio with solvents such as ethanol, acetone, benzene, ether, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It has little to no solubility in water and high molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons. DEGDBE is an excellent solvent for a wide range of polar and non-polar substances. Diethylene glycol dibutyl ether is an inert, aprotic solvent. It has wide applicability in various types of cleaning formulations. Examples include grease, wax, and stain removers and special low-flammability non-aqueous cleaning systems for electronic equipment. DEGDBE is used as a solvent for several coatings applications. It is a good coalescing agent with coupling ability. It is also used as solvent for inkjet inks, in formulations of deletion fluids for positive printing plates, retouching agents for lithographic printing and in cleaning agents for removing inks from printing machines. view less | |

However, it has limited solubility in water. DPGDME has no hydroxyl functionality. It is an inert, aprotic solvent and can be used in proton sensitive systems. Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether is not listed as a Hazardous Air Pollutant, has low toxicity, and offers an alternative to solvents being phased out as a result of the Clean Air Act. Due to its chemical stability and the absence of reactive groups, DPGDME can also be used as an inert reaction medium, e. g. for reactions with alkali and alkaline-earth metals (Grignard reactions), polymerizations etc. Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether is used in solvent-based coatings and water-based polyurethane/ isocyanate coating systems. It is used as environmentally friendly substitute for NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) e.g as as coalescing agent in water based polyurethane dispersions. Dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether is also used as a solvent for wood and furniture coatings as well as a solvent for hardeners. view less | |

The amount necessary for proper low temperature coalescence varies with different polymers. It has compatibility with many acrylic emulsions, thorough evaluations to check compatibility and stability should be preformed. This is a permanent coalescent that remains in the paint film and should not be stored in PVC containers or piping for extended periods of time. view less | Request Sample |
