Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether (PGME, 1-Methoxy-2-propanol, C₄H₁₀O₂) is a versatile, colorless organic solvent in the glycol ether family, known for dissolving both polar and non-polar substances, featuring low toxicity and good evaporation. Used widely in paints, coatings, cleaners, inks, and dyes, it acts as a carrier, stripper, and coalescent, valued for its high solvency and relatively benign environmental profile, though it can form peroxides and reacts with strong oxidants.
