Arcosolv PM is a colorless propylene glycol ether solvent.
Arcosolv PM is used in adhesive applications.
Arcosolv PM possesses mild, pleasant odor and very low content of primary alcohol.
Arcosolv PM can be used as a substitute for ether solvents (ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether).
Arcosolv PM provides good solvency for a wide variety of resins including acrylic, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters, nitrocellulose and polyurethanes.
Description of Arcosolv PM:
Arcosolv PM is a colorless, flammable liquid with low toxicity, having a mild, pleasant odor.
Arcosolv PM is completely water soluble, miscible with a number of organic solvents, and has good solvency for a number of substances.
Arcosolv PM and blends can be used as replacements for ethylene glycol (E-series) ether acetates, particularly EEA and EMA.
