Propylene Glycol (PG) (otherwise called 1,2-dihydroxypropane, trimethyl glycol, 1,2-propanediol) is a clear, color free, fairly sweet-tasting, practically odourless, water soluble and slightly viscid liquid. Commercial production of this organic alcohol is typically implemented by way of hydrating propylene oxide – the resultant of oil products.
Considered as a “safe” chemical, Propylene Glycol finds dozens of uses in many areas. It is a perfect feedstock for making unsaturated polyesters (about 46%), and also is a base for airplane de-icing fluids. The chemical is utilized in the food, cosmetics and pharma industries as an effective antifreeze, preservative, and water absorbent. It also is a solvent for food flavors and colors, as well as for paintwork materials. The worldwide demand for Propylene Glycol is anticipated to go up, with the Asia-Pacific almost fully answering for the chemical’s future.
