About Propylene Glycols

Propylene glycol (PG) is a clear, colorless liquid with the consistency of syrup. It is practically odorless and tasteless. It is hygroscopic (attracts water), has low toxicity and outstanding stability, as well as high flash and boiling points, low vapor pressure and broad solvency. These properties make PG ideal for a wide array of applications, such as:

Antifreezes, Coolants and Aircraft Deicing Fluids
Heat Transfer Fluids
Solvents
Food
Flavors and Fragrances
Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Pharmaceuticals
Chemical Intermediates
Hydraulic Fluids
Plasticizers
Thermoset Plastic Formulations
