DOWANOL™ DPMA glycol ether is a mid to slow evaporating solvent that is among the lowest viscosity embers of the DOWANOL product line. The molecule is capped with an acetate group, which reduces its polarity and viscosity, as well as eliminates the presence of the reactive hydrogen found in other glycol ethers. These features make it an excellent solvent choice for urethanes and other proton-sensitive systems.
