ARCOSOLV® PM-EL- Propylene Glycol (Mono) Methyl Ether - is a colorless, flammable liquid with low toxicity, having a mild, pleasant odor. It is completely water soluble, miscible with a number of organic solvents, and has good solvency for a number of substances.
Coatings: ARCOSOLV® PM-EL provides good solvency for a wide variety of resins including acrylic, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, nitrocellulose and polyurethanes. Key properties for coating reformulation also include complete water miscibility and good coupling ability.
ARCOSOLV® PM-EL is a good substitute for E-series solvents; particularly, EM (ethylene glycol methyl ether) and EE (ethylene glycol ethyl ether).
Cleaners: Low toxicity, surface tension reduction, and fast evaporation are some of the benefits of using ARCOSOLV PM in cleaning formulations. It also provides good solvency for polar and nonpolar
materials.
Chemical Intermediate: ARCOSOLV® PM-EL can be used in combination with other glycol ethers or solvents to custom tailor properties to meet the full requirements of the formulation. It has a very low content of primary alcohol, generally below 2%. The primary alcohol isomer is more reactive than the secondary alcohol isomer. Low primary alcohol content minimizes side product formation.
Electronics: ARCOSOLV® PM-EL is used in conjunction with other solvents in the manufacture of laminates which are used to make circuit boards. Additionally, ARCOSOLV PM may be used in the cleaning and
removal of solder flux and masks.
Other Applications: The properties listed in the previous section also support the use of ARCOSOLV® PM-EL in agricultural, cosmetic, ink, textile and adhesives products.
