D.M Diluent (DM) is a VOC-exempt clear polar solvent having high boiling and flash points, a low order of toxicity and a mild ether-like odor. It is stable under most conditions and is not hydroscopic or corrosive. DM is particularly well suited for applications requiring a water white product or high purity. Examples would be cosmetic, electronics or where recycling of spent material will occur.

In an epoxy system, D.M Diluent (DM) reduces the viscosity of the epoxy resin which renders it much easier to handle and acts as a scavenger for active hydrogen containing impurities such as alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids and water.
