Rp123.00
Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DPM) is a versatile glycol ether solvent known for its mid-to-slow evaporation rate and high solvency power. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor and is completely soluble in water.
Major Applications DPM's ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar substances makes it a preferred "coupling agent" and solvent across several industries:
Fragrances & Cosmetics: Acts as a carrier and fixative in perfumes, reed diffusers, and room sprays. It helps essential oils dissolve evenly and slows their evaporation for a longer-lasting scent.
Cleaning Products: Used in industrial and household cleaners, floor polish strippers, and degreasers. Its slow evaporation ensures it remains on the surface long enough to dissolve tough oils and waxes.
Paints & Coatings: Functions as a coalescing agent in water-based coatings, helping to form a smooth, continuous film and improving the flow and leveling of the paint.
Printing Inks: Used as a tail solvent in gravure and flexographic inks to control drying times and prevent the ink from drying too quickly on the printing equipment.
