DOWANOL™ PMA glycol ether is a fast evaporating solvent that has the lowest viscosity of the entire 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.

Used In:

Solvent-based coatings

Solvent-based silk screen printing inks

Coating systems where OH reactivity is unwanted (e.g. PU/isocyanate and epoxy)

Advantages:

Powerful solvency

High dilution ratio

Relatively fast evaporation rate
