Application
Unsaturated polyester, which is made of 1,3-butanediol or glycol mixed as raw material of polyester resin and alkyd resin, has good water resistance, softness and impact resistance.
The raw material used as plasticizer is polyester plasticizer made of 1,3-butanediol and binary acid (adipic acid), which has low volatility, migration resistance, soap water resistance, solvent resistance and oil resistance.
As the raw material of polyurethane coating, the product has better water resistance than other diols.
Arcosolv DPM can be used as humectant and softener.
Arcosolv DPM has excellent humectant and low toxicity.

Ground containers before beginning transfer.
Electrical equipment should conform to national electric code.
Handle empty containers carefully. Combustible residue remains after emptying.
Store in properly lined steel or stainless steel to avoid slight discoloration from mild steel.
Glycol ethers should never be stored or handled in copper or copper alloys.

Introduction of Arcosolv DPM
Arcosolv DPMglycol ether is a mid-to slow evaporating solvent.
Arcosolv DPM t has 100% water solubility and is ideally suited as a coupling agent in a wide range of solvent systems.
Arcosolv DPM has a higher flash point than Arcosolv DPM making it easier to handle, store, and ship.
Often incorporated into latex emulsion coatings DOWANOL DPM glycol ether can be used to prevent shocking (coagulation of emulsion) when hydrophobic solvents are used.
More broadly, its hydrophilic nature makes it an ideal coupling aid in water reducible coatings, and cleaning applications.
Arcosolv DPM's intermediate evaporation rate allow it to be used in a potentially wider range of systems than many other solvents.
