Glycol TPM

Glycol TPM

Otherwise known as Tripropylene Methyl Ether: Glycol TPM is mixture of up to eight isomers that results in a low evaporation rate, low viscosity, and powerful solvency.

Benefits

• Powerful solvency.
• Slow evaporation rate
• High boiling point.
• High flash point.
• Low viscosity.

Applications

• Glycol TPM is best used as a solvent for inks in products such as stamp pads and ballpoint pens, because its high polymer solvency prevents the product from drying out too quickly.
• It is also useful as a coupling agent and solvent in paint, varnish, and rust removers.
• Additionally, Glycol TPM can be utilized as an oven cleaner due to its high boiling point and flash point.
• Glycol TPM is further applicable to use along with solid solvent-based coatings.
• Glycol TPM is often used in penetrating oils such as WD-40, because of its low viscosity.

Physical Characteristics

Glycol TPM is a viscous, colorless liquid with a mild odor similar to other ether substances.

Safety and Handling

• Glycol TPM causes mild eye irritation and injury upon ingestion. It can potentially cause drowsiness or dizziness.
• Short exposure through the skin is unlikely to result in harmful absorption.
  Glycol TPM can potentially oxidize in air and form explosive peroxides.
• It reacts strongly with some bases, acids, and oxidants. Therefore, Glycol TPM should be stored separately from strong bases, acids, and oxidants.
• Glycol TPM may create flammable or toxic gasses upon contact with alkali metals or nitrides.
• For optimal safety handle Glycol TPM with protective gloves and safety goggles in a well ventilated area with a self-contained breathing apparatus.
