DPMA glycol ether provides many of the same properties as PMA glycol ether, but with a slower evaporation rate and a lower flammability rating. DPMA is rated as a Class III combustible, making it easier to handle, store, and ship.
This product is among the lowest viscosity members of the family of glycol ethers. The molecule is capped with an acetate group, which reduces its polarity and reduces the solvent's viscosity.
The acetate group also eliminates the presence of the reactive hydrogen found in other glycol ethers; thus, DPMA glycol ether is an excellent solvent choice for urethanes and other proton-sensitive systems.
DPMA glycol ether provides excellent active solvency for a very wide range of resin types, including acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, and many others.
