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.

Active solvent for solvent-based coatings.

• Dye carrier for textile dye processes.

• Coupling agent and solvent in household and industrial cleaners, paint and floor polish strippers, hard surface cleaners, and disinfectants.

• Chemical process solvent and intermediate for ester production

• Coupling agent for resins and dyes in water-based printing inks.

• Component of high-boiling hydraulic brake fluids.
