Downanol DPM (Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether) Alternative?
Hello,
Can you suggest me an alternative for Dowanol DPM C7H16O3 ? It is hard to get in my region. Or can I use Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) C6H14O3 instead of Downol DPM?“DOWANOL DPM glycol ether is a mid-to slow evaporating solvent. This hydrophilic solvent has 100% watersolubility and is ideally suited as a coupling agent in a wide range of solvent systems. DOWANOL DPM glycol etherhas a higher flash point than DOWANOL PM glycol ether making it easier to handle, store, and ship. Oftenincorporated into latex emulsion coatings DOWANOL DPM glycol ether can be used to prevent shocking(coagulation of emulsion) when hydrophobic solvents are used. More broadly, its hydrophilic nature makes it anideal coupling aid in water reducible coatings, and cleaning applications. DOWANOL DPM glycol ether’sintermediate evaporation rate allow it to be used in a potentially wider range of systems than many other solvents.”
