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. It is 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 coatings and prevents film blushing in humid environments; as a leveling agent, it avoids floating and flooding, forming a uniform and smooth coating.

Adhesives and Cleaners

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

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

Pharmaceuticals and Agriculture

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

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

Expansion into Emerging Fields

Photoresist Materials: Replaces restricted solvents like NMP in semiconductor photoresists, meeting environmental requirements and being compatible with 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, can reduce the carbon footprint by 63%, and is suitable for high-end fields such as flexible displays.
