Product Description
Propylene Glycol (PG/1,2-Propanediol/Mono Propylene Glycol)
Propylene glycol, scientifically known as "1,2-propanediol", is a hygroscopic viscous liquid with a slightly spicy odor. It is miscible in water, ethyl acetate, and chloroform, and soluble in ethers. It's also soluble in many essential oils but not miscible with petroleum ethers, paraffin, and oil. Propylene glycol exhibits good stability to heat and light, especially at low temperatures.
Key Benefits
- Excellent solvent properties for various applications
- Stable under a wide range of temperatures
- Miscible with many common solvents
- Versatile chemical intermediate
Target Industries & Applications
Propylene glycol is widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. It serves as a solvent, antifreeze, humectant, and chemical intermediate.
