Product Overview
Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME) is a high-purity, 99% synthesis-grade solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This colorless, low-odor liquid offers exceptional solvency for a wide range of organic compounds, making it a versatile choice for synthesis, extraction, and formulation processes. Its low volatility ensures stable performance in prolonged reactions, while the mixture of isomers provides balanced properties for consistent results. DPGME is particularly valued for its ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar substances, reducing the need for multiple solvents in complex procedures. The synthesis grade ensures minimal impurities, which is critical for sensitive applications where contamination could compromise outcomes. Its moderate evaporation rate allows for controlled processing without excessive loss, and the liquid remains stable under typical lab storage conditions. Whether used as a primary solvent or as part of a solvent blend, DPGME delivers reliable performance with predictable behavior across various chemical environments.
FAQs
1. What is the flash point of DPGME 99%?
The flash point of this grade is approximately 82°C (180°F), making it relatively safe for standard lab handling with proper ventilation.
2. Can this solvent be used with plastic labware?
DPGME is compatible with most common lab plastics like PP and HDPE, but prolonged exposure may affect PS or PVC—check material resistance charts for specifics.
3. How does DPGME compare to propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME)?
DPGME has higher boiling point and lower volatility than PGME, offering slower evaporation and better suitability for high-temperature applications.
4. What’s the recommended storage condition for this solvent?
Store in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed original containers, away from oxidizing agents and direct sunlight to maintain purity.
5. Is this product REACH or GHS compliant?
This synthesis-grade DPGME meets REACH registration requirements and is labeled according to GHS standards for safe handling.
