ARCOSOLV PMA - (Mono) Propylene Glycol (Mono) Methyl Ether Acetate - is a colorless, combustible liquid with low toxicity. It has a characteristic ester odor and is soluble in water to the extent of 18% at 20°C. It has excellent solvency for a variety of substances including acrylic, nitrocellulose and urethane coating resins. ARCOSOLV PMA is a substitute for certain ethylene glycol (E-series) ether acetates, particularly EEA and EMA.
Coatings: ARCOSOLV PMA is extensively used in many decorative and protective coating formulations.
Cleaners: ARCOSOLV propylene glycol ethers are generally recommended over their acetates because acetates are subject to hydrolysis in very alkaline water-based cleaners.
However, for solvent-based cleaning, including metal degreasing and specialized equipment cleansing ARCOSOLV PMA alone and in conjunction with other solvents is being evaluated as a replacement for many chlorinated solvents. The direction of current regulations is to eliminate the use of many chlorinated solvents in this application.
Other Applications: The properties listed in the previous section also support the use of ARCOSOLV PMA in agricultural, cosmetic, ink, textile and adhesive products.
Electronics: Another area where ARCOSOLV PMA has replaced EEA is in photoresist formulations used in semiconductor processing. In these processes, it is used in the positive photoresist formulation.
