Methoxy propanol is formulated into a wide range of cleaners for industrial and commercial use such as those for ovens, glass, hard surfaces, floors, carpets and upholstery, as well as in speciality sanitation products such as swimming pool cleaners.
1-Methoxy-2-propanol | C4H10O2 | CID 7900
Methoxy propanol (also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, PM, and PGME), is a colourless liquid that is soluble in water and is highly flammable. It is a methoxy alcohol derivative and has a formula of C4H10O2.
Methoxy propanol is predominately used in the manufacture of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate also known as PMA, and is also used in industrial and commercial products including paints, varnishes, inks, synthetic resin and rubber adhesives, and automotive and oven cleaners. It is also used as a cleaning agent in the LCD and electronics industry.
Description: Methoxy Propanol. Methoxy propanol has a specific gravity of 0.924 and a flash point of 33° C and is therefore highly flammable so should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area that is free from sources of ignition. For transport purposes, methoxy propanol is classified as packing group III and hazard class 3 and is an irritant.
