Spray paints
The main advantage of dimethyl ether is its solvency power therefore it is widely used as a propellant for paint aerosols and enhances product properties.
The advantages of DME use:
- both propellant and solvent;
- faster drying due to quick evaporation of DME;
- reduced formation of tears;
- formation of uniform film;
- less paint for same result; no odour;
- higher partial pressure compared to propane, butane.
