Primary Use
Hydrophobic ether solvent
Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is a hydrophobic ether solvent known for its high boiling point, low tendency to form peroxides, and stability under acidic and basic conditions. It is considered a safer alternative to solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), dioxane, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) in industrial applications.
