What is Arcosolv PM ?
Arcosolv PM , is a colourless liquid that is soluble in water and is highly flammable.
Arcosolv PM is a methoxy alcohol derivative and has a formula of C4H10O2.

How is Arcosolv PM produced?
Arcosolv PM is produced by the reaction of 1,2-epoxy propane and methanol in the presence of a catalyst, and this is then followed by distillation.
