Product Description
PGME/Proprylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether/CAS NO.107-98-2
Product Description
Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether
, commonly abbreviated as
PGME
, is a colorless, transparent liquid with a mild ether-like odor. Its chemical formula is C4H10O2, and its molecular weight is 90.12.
PGME exhibits excellent solubility: it is miscible with water, alcohols (such as ethanol and isopropanol), ethers, ketones (such as acetone), esters, and most hydrocarbon solvents. It has a relatively low volatility compared to traditional solvents like acetone, with a boiling point of approximately 120-122°C and a flash point of around 31°C (closed cup), making it safer to handle under normal industrial operating conditions.

Application
I. Coating and Ink Industry: High-Performance Solvent / Cosolvent
This is the most core application field of PGME, which can address key pain points in coating and ink formulations (such as viscosity adjustment, film-forming quality improvement, and VOC emission reduction).
II. Electronics Industry: Precision Cleaning Agent and Photoresist Solvent
With low corrosiveness, strong residue-removing ability, and good compatibility with sensitive electronic materials, PGME has become a key auxiliary material in the electronic manufacturing field.
III. Cosmetics Industry: Solubilizer and Stabilizer
Relying on its low toxicity (oral LD50 in rats is approximately 5000 mg/kg) and good biocompatibility, PGME is approved for use in cosmetic formulations.
IV. Fine Chemical Industry: Reaction Medium and Extractant
PGME has stable chemical properties (resistant to hydrolysis at room temperature) and can dissolve both polar and non-polar substances, making it an ideal reaction medium and extractant.
V. Other Industrial Applications
-
Leather and Textile Industry
: It is used as a solvent for leather finishes and textile auxiliaries. It enhances the adhesion of finishes on leather surfaces (improving wear resistance and luster) and helps textile auxiliaries such as softeners and water repellents penetrate into fiber interiors, thereby improving the hand feel and functionality of fabrics.
-
Household and Industrial Cleaning
: It is used in the preparation of low-VOC cleaning agents (e.g., glass cleaners, degreasers). It can remove oil stains, wax residues, and adhesive marks from the surfaces of glass, metals, and plastics without easily leaving water spots, balancing cleaning efficiency and environmental friendliness.
-
Agrochemicals
: It serves as a solvent for pesticide formulations (e.g., emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions). It improves the solubility of active ingredients such as insecticides and herbicides, enhances the adhesion of pesticides on crop leaves, and boosts control efficacy.
Supplementary Notes on Key Terms
-
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)
: The abbreviation of "Volatile Organic Compound," a core indicator in environmental protection standards for coatings, cleaners, and other products, consistently retained in its abbreviated form in industrial English to ensure conciseness.
-
LD50
: The standard symbol for "Median Lethal Dose" in toxicology, universally used in scientific and industrial contexts without translation, with the additional note "oral in rats" to clarify the test conditions for accuracy.
-
Emulsifiable concentrates / Microemulsions
: Standard English names for common pesticide formulation types, aligning with the naming conventions of the global agrochemical industry to avoid ambiguity in cross-border applications.
