Methoxypropyl Acetate, commonly known as PMA, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, sweet ether-like odor. It has the chemical formula C₆H₁₂O₃ and is characterized by medium volatility and limited miscibility with water. PMA combines ether and ester functionalities, making it a highly effective solvent for a wide range of natural and synthetic resins, dyes, waxes, and oils. Its balanced evaporation rate and solvency power make it ideal for use in industrial formulations where performance and safety are key. Methoxypropyl Acetate is widely used in inks, coatings, and cleaners, and is often selected as a safer alternative to more hazardous solvents. It is typically stabilized with antioxidants to prevent peroxide formation during storage and handling.
