METHOXYPROPYL ACETATE

Methoxypropyl acetate is a clear, slightly hygroscopic liquid with a mild odour. It is freely miscible with most common organic solvents, but has only limited miscibility with water. By virtue of its ether and ester groups, methoxypropyl acetate enters into reactions that are characteristic of ethers and esters and display their solvent power. For instance, it dissolves numerous natural and synthetic resins, waxes, fats and oils. Since methoxy propylacetate may react with the oxygen in the air to form peroxides, basf supplies it inhibited with 2.6-di-tert-butyl-para-cresol (butylated hydroxytoluene – bht).
