FAQs - Methoxy Propanol

What is Methoxy Propanol used for?
Methoxy Propanol is used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning products, as well as a chemical intermediate and coupling agent.
Is Methoxy Propanol safe to use?
Methoxy Propanol is considered to have low toxicity, but it should be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures.
Can Methoxy Propanol be mixed with water?
Yes, Methoxy Propanol is miscible with water and most organic solvents.
What is methoxy propanol?
Methoxy propanol (1-methoxy-2-propanol, C₄H₁₀O₂, CAS 107-98-2) is a glycol-ether solvent, also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) or PM glycol ether. It offers strong solvency, water miscibility, low toxicity and a moderate evaporation rate, and is a safer alternative to ethylene-glycol ethers.
Is methoxy propanol the same as PGME or PM glycol ether?
Yes. Methoxy propanol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), PM and PM glycol ether are all names for the same solvent, CAS 107-98-2.
Is methoxy propanol the same as phenoxy propanol?
No. Methoxy propanol (PGME, CAS 107-98-2) is a glycol-ether solvent. Phenoxy propanol (phenoxyisopropanol, CAS 770-35-4) is a different chemical used mainly as a preservative. They are not interchangeable - this page is for methoxy propanol.
Is methoxy propanol soluble in water?
Yes. Methoxy propanol is fully miscible with water and with most common organic solvents, which is why it works well as a coupling solvent in water-borne systems.
Is methoxy propanol safe / low toxicity?
Methoxy propanol has a comparatively low toxicity profile and is considered a safer substitute for ethylene-glycol ethers. It is a flammable liquid (flash point \~31–34 °C), so handle with ventilation, PPE and ignition-source control; see the SDS for full guidance.
How much methoxy propanol should I use in coatings?
Typical dosages: industrial spray coatings 5–10%, epoxy paints up to 50%, wood stains up to 25%, and alkyd building paints 3–4%. Adjust to your resin system and target evaporation profile.
What grade of methoxy propanol does Elchemy supply?
Elchemy supplies technical/industrial-grade methoxy propanol at ≥99.5% purity, suitable for coatings, inks, cleaning and electronics, with CoA, TDS and SDS documentation.
Where can I buy methoxy propanol in bulk?
Elchemy supplies methoxy propanol (PGME) in bulk, from drums to ISO-tank loads. Request a quote and our team confirms grade, pack size, availability and delivery.
How much does methoxy propanol cost?
Price depends on order volume, packaging and market conditions, so we quote per requirement rather than a fixed rate. Request a bulk quote for pricing within 48 hours and a sample for evaluation.
