Propylene Glycol Diacetate

Its balanced physical and chemical properties make it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial applications across multiple sectors. Propylene Glycol Diacetate is available in different purity grades and specification ranges tailored for coatings, inks, adhesives, and specialty chemical formulations. It is commonly used as a solvent and coalescing agent in water-based and solvent-based coatings, printing inks, varnishes, automotive refinish systems, and industrial cleaners. PGDA is composed of propylene glycol esterified with acetic acid, offering excellent solvency for resins such as acrylics, polyurethanes, epoxies, and alkyds. Key technical features include a moderate evaporation rate, high flash point, low viscosity, good hydrolytic stability, and strong resistance to yellowing. It improves flow, leveling, and film formation while reducing VOC impact compared to traditional aggressive solvents. Typical commercial types include standard industrial grade, high-purity grade, and customized blends for specific formulation needs.
