CAC - Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Acetate
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, CAC (CAS 111-15-9), is the acetate of EE. It carries the same reproductive toxicity classification as its parent alcohol, because the ester hydrolyses back to it in the body.
DCAC - Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Acetate
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, DCAC or carbitol acetate (CAS 112-15-2), is the acetate of DE. It is a slow, high-boiling, hydroxyl-free solvent used as a retarder and flow aid in coatings and inks.
BAC - Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Acetate
Butyl glycol acetate, BAC (CAS 112-07-2), is EB with its hydroxyl esterified. Removing that active hydrogen makes it usable in two-pack polyurethane systems where a free alcohol would react with the isocyanate.
DBAC - Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Acetate
Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, DBAC (CAS 124-17-4), is the acetate of DB. With no active hydrogen and a very high boiling point, it is among the slowest solvents available for two-pack polyurethane systems.
PM - Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Propylene glycol monomethyl ether, PM (CAS 107-98-2), is the most widely used P-series glycol ether. Commercial grade is over 99.5 percent alpha isomer, because it is the minor beta isomer that carries the toxicological concern.
PE - Propylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
Propylene glycol monoethyl ether, PE (CAS 1569-02-4), is the ethyl member of the P-series. It gives stronger resin solvency than PM while keeping the favourable toxicological profile that distinguishes propylene-series ethers.
DPE - Dipropylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, DPE (CAS 30025-38-8), pairs a two-unit glycol backbone with an ethyl cap. It is a high-boiling, low-odour, water-miscible solvent widely accepted in consumer cleaning products.
PNB - Propylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
Propylene glycol monobutyl ether, PnB (CAS 5131-66-8), is the strongest solvent in the single-unit propylene series. Its slow evaporation makes it a tail solvent, staying in the film to aid flow after faster solvents have gone.
DPNB - Dipropylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether, DPnB (CAS 29911-28-2), is among the most widely specified coalescents in architectural paint. Its strong polymer affinity and very slow evaporation make it effective at low addition.
PNP - Propylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether
Propylene glycol monopropyl ether, PnP (CAS 1569-01-3), combines full water miscibility with strong solvency for oils and greases. That pairing makes it a standard coupling solvent in water-based cleaning formulations.
DPNP - Dipropylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether, DPnP (CAS 29911-27-1), combines a two-unit backbone with a propyl cap. It is a slow-evaporating coalescent that stays in a latex film long enough to complete polymer fusion.
DPDM - Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, DPDM, is capped with methyl groups at both ends, so it carries no hydroxyl. It is a high-boiling aprotic solvent used where an active hydrogen would interfere with the chemistry.
PMA - Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate
Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, PMA or PGMEA (CAS 108-65-6), is the standard solvent of the semiconductor industry. It is the carrier and developer solvent for photoresists, where purity is specified in parts per billion.
Ethylene Glycol Tert-Butyl Ether
Ethylene glycol tert-butyl ether (CAS 7580-85-0) carries a branched tertiary butyl group rather than a straight chain. That branching lowers its boiling point and changes its solvency relative to the linear butyl isomer, EB.
Propylene Carbonate (PC)
Propylene carbonate (CAS 108-32-7, EINECS 203-572-1) is a polar aprotic solvent with an unusually high dielectric constant. It is readily biodegradable and low in toxicity, which is why it displaces solvents such as NMP.
