Methoxy Triglycol
SKU: RXSOL-19-1357-210
Methoxytriglycol is a low-volatility, high solvency glycol ether with excellent coupling properties. The versatility of Methoxytriglycol (triethylene glycol monomethyl ether) is demonstrated by the variety of applications in which it may find use. The low volatility and excellent solvency makes this glycol ether an effective carrier solvent for textile dye processes. With superior surface tension characteristics, water solubility and solvency for oils, it has potential for use in household, institutional, industrial and special-purpose cleaners. The coupling ability of this product enhances performance and improves shelf stability of cleaning products.
