DPMA Solvent Acetate CAS No.88917-22-0 High Purity Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl

Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl e-ther Acetate (DPMA), commonly known as Dowanol DPMA or Di(propylene glycol) methyl e-ther acetate (CAS No: 88917-22-0), is an eco-friendly, high-boiling-point glycol e-ther ester solvent. As a professional manufacturer with advanced synthesis and strict quality control systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SGS certified), we supply premium industrial-grade DPMA with a minimum purity of ≥99.0%. It features low toxicity, a mild e-ther odor, and exceptional solvency, making it an indispensable volatile organic compound (VOC)-compliant solvent for modern high-performance formulations in coatings, specialty inks, and electronic applications.

• Ultra-High Purity (≥99.0%): Produced via advanced distillation technology with rigorous GC testing, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency critical for high-end coating and electronic-grade applications where impurities directly impact final product performance.
• Superior Solvency Power: DPMA exhibits excellent miscibility with a broad range of organic resins including acrylics, epoxies, polyesters, and polyurethanes. Its balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic nature allows it to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds effectively, outperforming conventional ester solvents in multi-resin coating systems.
• Optimized Evaporation Profile: With a boiling range of 205°C - 217°C and a flash point of 85.5°C, DPMA delivers an ideal evaporation rate that extends open time during application, improves wet-edge retention, and promotes superior film leveling without causing surface defects such as blushing, orange peel, or solvent popping.
• Eco-Friendly & VOC-Compliant: As a glycol e-ther ester with low toxicity and a favorable volatile organic compound (VOC) classification, DPMA supports formulators in meeting EPA, EU REACH, and global environmental regulations. It contributes to green chemistry initiatives by reducing hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions compared to traditional aromatic hydrocarbon solvents.
• Exceptional Thermal Stability: The high boiling point and stable molecular structure of DPMA ensure reliable performance under elevated-temperature processing conditions, including baking cycles commonly used in automotive OEM and industrial coil coating applications, without thermal decomposition or color degradation.
• Low Odor & User-Friendly Handling: DPMA emits only a mild e-ther-like odor, making it significantly more comfortable for workers during bulk handling, formulation blending, and end-use application processes. This characteristic is particularly valued in indoor coating applications where air quality and operator safety are paramount concerns.
• Multi-Industry Versatility: From automotive refinish paints and screen printing inks to electronic-grade cleaning formulations and specialty agricultural adjuvants, DPMA serves as a cross-functional solvent that reduces the need for multiple single-purpose solvents in complex formulation systems, streamlining inventory and simplifying supply chains.

High-End Coatings & Paints: DPMA is an ideal solvent for automotive OEM paints, high-gloss industrial finishes, refrigerator and appliance coatings, and furniture varnishes. Its balanced evaporation rate ensures excellent flow and leveling properties, resulting in smooth, defect-free film surfaces with outstanding gloss retention and DOI (Distinctness of Image) performance.

Specialty Printing Inks: Widely adopted as an eco-solvent in screen printing and digital printing ink formulations, DPMA enhances film-forming intensity and provides precise dry-time control. Its compatibility with diverse pigment systems and binder resins makes it a preferred choice for high-resolution graphic arts, packaging inks, and UV-curable inkjet formulations where consistent print quality is mission-critical.

Electronics & Industrial Cleaners: DPMA functions as an effective cleaning agent and auxiliary solvent in electronic chemicals manufacturing, including PCB cleaning, flux residue removal, and precision parts degreasing. Its low residue profile and controlled evaporation prevent surface contamination on sensitive electronic components and semiconductor substrates.

Other Industrial Sectors: Beyond coatings and electronics, DPMA finds extensive application in specialty dyes and pigments as a dispersion medium, in textile auxiliary agents for dye-leveling and fiber treatment, and in agricultural chemical formulations as a carrier solvent for emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and suspension concentrates (SC) where consistent active ingredient delivery is essential.

Our DPMA solvent is available in multiple packaging options to suit diverse logistics and operational requirements. Standard packaging includes 200 kg net weight new iron drums with inner epoxy coating to prevent corrosion, 1000 kg IBC totes (Intermediate Bulk Containers) equipped with ball valve discharge for efficient workshop dispensing, and ISO tank containers for bulk ocean freight shipments exceeding 20 metric tons. Each package is clearly labeled with product identification, lot number, net and gross weight, UN number, and hazard classification in compliance with GHS (Globally Harmonized System) standards.

Every production batch undergoes comprehensive quality testing in our in-house analytical laboratory before release. Our quality management system is certified under ISO 9001:2015 for manufacturing excellence and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management. Third-party inspection and testing by SGS, BV, or Intertek is available upon customer request. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters including purity, water content, acidity, color, specific gravity, and boiling range. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) in the buyer’s preferred language is provided with every order.

We maintain a robust traceability system that links every drum back to its original production batch and raw material lots, enabling full upstream and downstream accountability. Samples are retained for a minimum of 24 months to support any post-shipment quality inquiries. For long-term partnerships, we offer vendor-managed inventory (VMI) arrangements and just-in-time (JIT) delivery programs with regional warehousing support in key international markets.
