`
`Product Description
`
`DOWANOLTM PM glycol ether is the fastest evaporating solvent in the DOWANOLTM
`
`Applications
`
`Typical Physical
`Properties
`
`glycol ether family. With very high water solubility and active solvency, DOWANOLTM
`PM glycol ether is widely used in coating and cleaning applications. It offers better
`viscosity reduction than heavier molecular weight glycol ethers and is particularly
`
`effective in epoxy and high solids acrylic systems. DOWANOLTM PM can also be
`used in combination with DOWANOLTM PnB glycol ether in glass cleaning
`formulations.
`
`. Active solvent for solvent-based coatings.
`0 Active and tail solvent for solvent based gravure and flexographic printing inks.
`- Coupling agent in solvent blends for water-based gravure, flexographic, and silk
`screen printing inks.
`- Carrier solvent for ball point and felt tip writing pen inks.
`o Coupling agent and solvent for household and industrial cleaners, rust removers, and
`hard surface cleaners.
`
`. Solvent for agricultural pesticides, deactivator and emollient for livestock pesticides.
