Propylene glycol ethers; It is a class of solvents used in a wide variety of industrial, commercial and consumer applications, such as paints, cleaners and inks.
A robust toxicity database exists for propylene glycol ethers providing strong product safety support.
Propylene glycol ethers are organic compounds produced from the reaction of propylene oxide with base-catalyzed alcohols.
Alcohols include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and phenol.
Higher glycol ethers can be produced from subsequent reactions with additional propylene oxides.

They are often used as solvents in paints and cleaners.
Although they have higher boiling points than low molecular weight ethers and alcohols, they have good solvent properties.
Glycol ethers are called "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.
Typically, E series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, paints, and water-based paints.
P series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.
Both E and P series glycol ethers can be used as intermediates that undergo further chemical reactions producing glycol diethers and glycol ether acetates.
P series glycol ethers are marketed as having lower toxicity than the E series.
Most glycol ethers are soluble in water.
Propylene glycol ether is biodegradable.
Only a few propylene glycol ethers are considered toxic.
