Abstract
This propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate composition contains propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate, and has an absorbance of 0.030 or less at 259 nm as measured after the propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate composition has been submitted to the following test. (Test) The propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate composition is heated to 80°C in a container made of borosilicate glass in a nitrogen atmosphere, and kept in that condition for 275 hours.
