PGDA, propylene glycol diacetate, is a high purity chemical (more than 99.5% pure).
It is a clear, colorless, practically odorless liquid with a relatively high boiling point.
Its high flash point, high ignition temperature and favorable toxicological profile make it a relatively safe solvent in terms of industrial hygiene.
PGDA is listed in the US Pharmacopeia NF XVI.
