Applications of ARCOSOLV PMA:
Coatings:
ARCOSOLV PMA is extensively used in many decorative and protective coating formulations.
ARCOSOLV PMA has a similar evaporation rate and solvency compared to EEA in an acrylicepoxy baking enamel formulation.
ARCOSOLV PMA is also found to give better gloss and image distinction.
Cleaners:
ARCOSOLV PMA is generally recommended over their acetates because acetates are subject to hydrolysis in very alkaline water-based cleaners.
However, for solvent-based cleaning, including metal degreasing and specialized equipment cleansing, ARCOSOLV PMA alone and in conjunction with other solvents is being evaluated as a replacement for many chlorinated solvents.
The direction of current regulations is to eliminate the use of many chlorinated solvents in this application.
ARCOSOLV PMA shows very broad solvency.
ARCOSOLV PMA's solvency characteristics generally match those of chlorinated solvents more closely than do glycol ethers and alcohols.
Electronics:
ARCOSOLV PMA has replaced EEA is in photoresist formulations used in semiconductor processing.
In these processes, ARCOSOLV PMA is used in the positive photoresist formulation.
ARCOSOLV PMA may also be used in solvent systems for cleaning and degreasing circuit boards and removing solder flux.
Other Applications of ARCOSOLV PMA:
ARCOSOLV PMA is used in agricultural, cosmetic, ink, textile and adhesive products.
Benefits and Applications of ARCOSOLV PMA
Electronics:
ARCOSOLV PMA has been used in the electronics industry for many years as a photoresist stripper.
Graffiti Removers:
ARCOSOLV PMAbased graffiti removers combine high performance and biodegradability with low volatility and low flammability.
ARCOSOLV PMA can be blended with glycol ethers or acetates such as ARCOSOLV PMA, ARCOSOLV DPMA.
They are cost effective and improve performance on surfaces defaced by lipstick and crayon graffiti.
Agricultural:
The agricultural chemical industry takes advantage of NMP’s solvency and handling properties in agricultural formulations.
Pharmaceuticals:
ARCOSOLV PMA is used as a solvent in pharmaceutical synthetic procedure because of ARCOSOLV PMA broad solvency.
One potential use for ARCOSOLV PMA is as a dermal penetration enhancer for pharmaceuticals.
Consumer and Industrial Cleaners:
ARCOSOLV PMA is an effective stripping agent used in floor stripping, poven cleaners, graffiti removers, and paint strippers.
Due to ARCOSOLV PMA's high solvency and low volatility, ARCOSOLV PMA is used in automotive and industrial cleaners with solvents such as hydrocarbons, terpenes, Arconate Propylene Carbonate and P-Series glycol ethers.
Coatings Solvent:
ARCOSOLV PMA is a powerful solvent for most commercial resins.
Due to ARCOSOLV PMA's high boiling point and excellent solvent power, ARCOSOLV PMA extends and improves the properties of high temperature bake coatings.
For instance, high solid binders are more easily obtained with ARCOSOLV PMA.
Quite often, baked finishes yield coatings with outstanding mechanical and dielectric properties.
ARCOSOLV PMA also aids rheological control: better flow and leveling -less cratering and pinholing.
For these reasons, ARCOSOLV PMA has been shown to be highly effective in wire coating and other high temperature coating applications.
ARCOSOLV PMA is also the preferred solvent for urethane dispersions and is an excellent coalescent for acrylic and styrene acrylic latexes.
Petrochemical Processing:
ARCOSOLV PMA has been shown to have a selective affinity for unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatics and sulfur-bearing gases.
Due toARCOSOLV PMA's relative non-reactivity and high solvency, ARCOSOLV PMA finds wide applicability as an extraction solvent in lube oil processing as well as in natural and synthetic gas purification's.
Miscellaneous Solvent Applications:
The excellent thermal and chemical stability ofARCOSOLV PMA enhances ARCOSOLV PMA utility as a solvent or cosolvent in many synthetic reaction systems.
ARCOSOLV PMA shows selective affinity for unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatics, and sulfur compounds.
ARCOSOLV PMA can serve as a cosolvent with water, aromatic/chlorinated hydrocarbons, alcohols, glycol ethers, and ketones.
Uses of ARCOSOLV PMA:
ARCOSOLV PMA is a colorless, combustible liquid with low toxicity.
ARCOSOLV PMA has a characteristic ester odor and is soluble in water to the extent of 18% at 20'C.
ARCOSOLV PMA has excellent solvency for a variety of substances including acrylic, nitrocellulose and urethane coating resins.
ARCOSOLV PMA is a substitute for ethylene glycol (E-series) ether acetates, particularly EEA and EMA.

Storage of ARCOSOLV PMA:
General industry practice is to store Glycol Ether PMA in carbon steel vessels.
Avoid contact with air when storing for long periods of time.
Store ARCOSOLV PMA only in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat, sparks, open flame or strong oxidizing agents.
ARCOSOLV PMA is use only non-sparking tools.
Ground containers before beginning transfer.
Electrical equipment should conform to national electric code.
Handle empty containers carefully.
Flammable combustible residue remains after emptying.
Store ARCOSOLV PMA 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.
ARCOSOLV PMA may absorb water if exposed to air.
