2-Methoxy-1-propanol（Cat No.:M051197）is a colorless, flammable liquid belonging to the glycol ether family, featuring a methoxy group and a primary alcohol on a three-carbon backbone. It is commonly used as a solvent in coatings, inks, cleaners, and adhesives due to its excellent balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Its low volatility and strong solvency make it effective in dissolving both polar and nonpolar substances. Additionally, it serves as a coupling agent in water-based formulations. 2-Methoxy-1-propanol is valued for its versatility, but should be handled with care due to potential health effects upon prolonged exposure.
