General description

Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) is a photoresist solvent. Its degradation by microorganisms in different soil types has been investigated. An oral reference dose (RfD) value of PGMEA has been obtained from inhalation studies. The solubility of (5-alkylsulfonyloxyimino-5H-thiophen-2-ylidene)-2-methylphenyl-acetonitriles in PGMEA has been analyzed.

Application

Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate has been used in the development of fluidic channels to be incorporated in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based microfluidic device.
