Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether – DGMME

Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether, is a product of Ethylene Oxide and Methanol. Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether is chemically known as a Methyl Diglycol, 2-hydroxy-2-methoxy-diethyl ether. Commercially it is known as a Methyl Carbitol, which is a trademark of Union Carbide. Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether is an excellent solvent for the various resins & paste etc. ADVANCE PETROCHEMICALS LTD. is selling this product in the brand name APITOL 120.

Applications

Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol is a relatively non-volatile solvent and therefore it is included only in special lacquer formulations, principally nitrocellulose lacquers, to improve the properties of the lacquers. It can be stabilized with 2, 6-ditert-butyl-4-methylphenol (0.005%). Owning to its low volatility small quantity can be added to lacquer solutions. The dilution capacity of Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol is very good. This product is also used in aviation industry as FSII– Dicing – Anti Icing agent.

Methyl Diglycol - 2(-2 Methoxyethoxy) Ethanol does not attack rubber. APITOL 120 is also used in the printing ink, industry and in the production of ballpoint pen ink.
