Methoxy propyl acetate (PMA), also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), is an organic compound commonly used as a solvent in various applications, including coatings, inks, and adhesives. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild odor and good solvent properties, which allows it to dissolve a wide range of substances. Methoxy propyl acetate is valued for its ability to enhance the performance of formulations by improving flow and leveling, as well as its relatively low toxicity compared to other solvents. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and in the electronics industry for cleaning and processing.
