2-Methoxypropyl acetate（Cat No.:M000106）is a clear, colorless organic solvent with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₃. It features a methoxypropyl group esterified with acetic acid, combining ether and ester functionalities. Known for its mild odor and moderate evaporation rate, it is commonly used in coatings, inks, and cleaning agents, particularly where strong solvency and low toxicity are desired. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar substances makes it valuable in industrial and commercial formulations. Additionally, it is used as an alternative to more volatile or hazardous solvents in eco-conscious applications.
