Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether (CAS 111109-77-4) is an aprotic glycol ether solvent supplied in Technical Grade as a clear, colorless to almost colorless liquid, valued as a coalescing agent in water-borne coatings and as a high-solvency degreaser for industrial cleaning. This Technical Grade ether is an ideal environmentally friendly alternative to traditional glycol ethers.

DMM is particularly valued in water-based coatings, where it acts as a superior coalescing agent without interfering with the curing of sensitive resins. Its chemical inertness makes it suitable for use in polyurethane and epoxy systems.

In the industrial cleaning sector, it provides powerful degreasing action while being low-odor and non-flammable. It is highly effective in removing heavy oils, waxes, and fluxes in precision electronic and metal cleaning.
