Dimethyl Glutarate (ESS 160)

Dimethyl Glutarate (DMG) is a component in dibasic ester mixtures.

Because of its strong solvency and positive environmental, health and safety characteristics, DMG is an effective ingredient in HI&I cleaning products, paints and coating formulations.

DMG is also used on its own as a low cost, safe alternative in industrial cleaning and resin removal applications.

Low Vapor Pressure Alternative

DMG is an excellent option in applications requiring a very low vapor pressure.

For instance, due its low vapor pressure, DMG qualifies for the LVP-VOC consumer products exemption and will not count towards the total VOC content calculation for certain regulated consumer products.

It features low levels of toxicity and is recognized by the EPA as a safer alternative chemical ingredient.
