Methoxy propanol is primarily used in the manufacture of lacquers and paints, as an anti-freeze in industrial engines, a tailing agent for inks used on very high-speed presses, a coupling agent for resins and dyes in waterbased inks, and a solvent for celluloses, acrylics, dyes, inks, and stains. It is also used in cleaning products such as glass and rug cleaners, carbon and grease removers, and paint and varnish removers; and in pesticide formulations as a solvent for applications to crops and animals.

Application:
Application
in coating: PM, low toxic and strong soluble, is widely used as solvent
and coupling agent of ink, paint coating and water-based paint. It is suitable
for benzene propylene emulsion, propylene alkene acid emulsion and its emulsion
paint, which are characterized by reducing the coating temperature, speeding
its cohesion and keeping the coating in a good condition.
Application in pesticide: PM is mainly used as intermediate of metolachlor
for weedicide, and as suspension agent of pesticide emulsion.
Other applications: PM can be used in anti-freezer of fuel, cleanser,
extractor, and ore-dressing agent for non-ferrous metals. In addition, it can
be used as material of organic synthesis, dyestuff of dyeing and textile, and
solvent of spinning oil.
