Propylene glycol diacetate

Core Application Areas

Coatings and Inks Industry

High-Efficiency Solvents: Widely replace traditional high-VOC solvents (such as toluene, butyl acetate), capable of dissolving resins like acrylics, polyurethanes, and epoxies, reducing system viscosity, and enhancing gloss and hardness.

Environmental Advantages: Extremely low VOC content (virtually "zero VOC"), complying with stringent standards such as China's GB 18581-2020 and the EU REACH regulation. Particularly suitable for scenarios sensitive to odor and toxicity, such as wood coatings and automotive refinishes.

Functional Additives: As a coalescing agent, it lowers the minimum film-forming temperature of the coating and prevents film blushing in humid environments; as a leveling agent, it avoids floating and flooding, forming a uniform and smooth coating.

Adhesives and Cleaning Agents

Plasticization and Dilution: Improves the bonding strength and weather resistance of adhesives while optimizing curing time by adjusting the evaporation rate.

Efficiency Cleaning: Used in industrial cleaners and paint strippers to rapidly dissolve grease, stains, and old paint films.

Pharmaceuticals and Agriculture

Drug Synthesis: Serves as a reaction solvent or intermediate, participating in the construction of drug molecules.

Pesticide Additives: Enhances the stability and solubility of pesticides, improving the release of efficacy.

Emerging Field Expansion

Photoresist Materials: Replaces restricted solvents like NMP in semiconductor photoresists, meeting environmental requirements and adapting to existing processes; market share is projected to rise to 25% by 2030.

Bio-based Materials: Bio-based PGDA (renewable content ≥30%) has obtained EU ECOCERT certification, reducing the carbon footprint by 63%, and is applicable to high-end fields such as flexible displays.
