Propylene glycol methyl ether, also known as 1-methoxy-2-propanol, is a colorless organic chemical compound. Generally, Propylene glycol methyl ether is medium boiling glycol ether that is categorized under P-series glycol ether group. This compound is produced by the reaction between propylene oxide and methanol which is carried out in presence catalyst. Propylene glycol methyl ether are used prevalently as an organic solvent in commercial as well as industrial applications such as printing ink, chemical, agricultural, and automotive, among others.
The physico-chemical properties of Propylene glycol methyl ether such as excellent solvent activity, high dilution ratio, medium evaporation rate, and readily biodegradable nature, among other owing to which it appears as suitable alternative for petroleum based solvents. Thereby, it leads to increase in demand for Propylene glycol methyl ether in several industries such as chemical, automotive and paint & coating is increased in order to support sustainability development
Across the globe, shifting preference towards the use of biodegradable, sustainable and low VoC content paints & coating products in several end use industries such as automotive, printing ink, and Fabrication industry, among other owing to which demand for ecofriendly solvents is increased over the recent past.
This rise in demand for ecofriendly solvent is major driving factor for the propylene glycol methyl ether market. Further, increasing demand for derivative products such as propylene glycol methyl ether acetate from several industries such as electronics, chemical and printing ink, among other that help to drive the market.
Further, upsurge in demand for industrial, commercial, and household cleaners wherein propylene glycol methyl ether are prevalently used in formulation that in turn drive the market. Apart from this, fluctuating raw material prices may hamper the growth of propylene glycol methyl ether market. Moreover, significant growth of automotive industry coupled with increasing vehicle parc in developing region will in turn lead to drive the propylene glycol methyl ether market.
