General description

1-Methoxy-2-propanol is one of the most common propylene-based glycol ethers that find potential use in several industrial and commercial applications, major use being as a component of paints, varnishes, inks, etc. It is often utilized as a less potent substitute for short-chained ethylene glycol ethers.

Application

1-Methoxy-2-propanol may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in human and animal biological samples by various chromatography techniques.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Features and Benefits

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Monoethers, especially propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME), are widely used as pollution-free solvents in fine chemical synthesis in pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries".
