High Purity PM Acetate CAS 108-65-6
As a leading, certified PM Acetate supplier and manufacturer, Sinochem provides premium-grade Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA / PMA) to global markets. Backed by our advanced, state-of-the-art China PM Acetate factory, we implement rigorous quality control protocols on every single batch to ensure unparalleled purity, stability, and high performance for your production lines.
PM Acetate is an advanced, non-nuisance, eco-friendly solvent featuring multiple functional groups. Due to its unique ester and ether structures, it exhibits excellent dissolving capacities for various polymers, resins, and chemical agents. It is widely recognized as a premium, low-toxicity alternative to traditional glycol ether acetate solvents.
- Exceptional Solubility: Demonstrates complete miscibility with water, ethanol, and ether, while providing superior solvency for acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, and polyester resins.
- Optimized Film Formation: Due to its moderate evaporation rate and low surface tension, it serves as an excellent coalescing agent and cosolvent to prevent paint film defects like blushing or orange peel.
- Enhanced Safety Profile: Possesses a high flash point and low volatility, making it significantly safer to store, handle, and transport compared to highly volatile alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the exact difference between PM Acetate, PMA, and PGMEA?
A: These terms refer to the exact same chemical substance under different nomenclatures. PM Acetate is the commercial trade name, PMA is its common industry shorthand, and PGMEA stands for its systematic chemical name: Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (CAS No. 108-65-6). It is also known as 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate.
Q2: Why is the content of “2-Methoxy-1-propanol acetate” strictly limited to below 0.4% in your specifications?
A: 2-Methoxy-1-propanol acetate is an isomer byproduct formed during production. Unlike the safe 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate, this specific isomer carries potential reproductive toxicity risks. Our factory utilizes cutting-edge fractional distillation technology to strictly keep this impurity under 0.4% max, meeting the most rigorous safety compliance and environmental standards worldwide (such as REACH and electronic-grade benchmarks).
