Features Of Dow DPM Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether

  1. Low volatility with high boiling point (190–198 °C), enabling extended open time in coatings and inks.

  2. Excellent solvency for resins including acrylics, alkyds, and cellulose esters without excessive odor or toxicity.

  3. Good water miscibility and coalescing ability, enhancing film formation in waterborne systems.

  4. Favorable evaporation rate profile—slower than ethanol but faster than DPG, supporting balanced drying kinetics.

  5. Low skin irritation potential and favorable occupational exposure profile relative to aromatic hydrocarbons.

Typical Applications Of Dow DPM Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether

  1. Waterborne architectural and industrial coatings as a coalescing aid and active solvent.

  2. Flexographic and gravure inks for improved pigment dispersion and substrate wetting.

  3. Industrial cleaning formulations requiring moderate polarity and low residue.

  4. Electronic cleaning fluids where low surface tension and non-corrosive behavior are critical.

  5. Adhesives and sealants for viscosity control and enhanced green strength development.
