DOWANOL™ PM glycol ether is the fastest evaporating solvent in the DOWANOL™ glycol ether family. This product offers very high water solubility and active solvency, and is widely used in coating and cleaning applications. It offers better viscosity reduction than heavier molecular weight glycol ethers and is particularly effective in epoxy and high solids acrylic systems.

Used In:

Solvent-based coatings

Solvent-based gravure and flexographic printing inks

Solvent blends for water-based gravure, flexographic, and silk screen printing inks

Ball point and felt tip writing pen inks

Household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, and hard surface cleaners
