Propylene glycol, also known as 1, 2-propylene glycol, is a synthetic organic compound with the formula C3H8O2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that is hygroscopic and miscible with water. The product is widely used in various industries because of its unique properties.
Propylene glycol is an important raw material for unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, the amount of this aspect accounts for about 45% of the total consumption of propylene glycol, this unsaturated polyester is widely used in surface coatings and reinforced plastics. Propylene glycol is viscous and hygroscopic, and non-toxic, so it is widely used as hygroscopic agents, antifreeze agents, lubricants and solvents in the food and cosmetic industries. In the food industry, propylene glycol reacts with fatty acids to form propylene glycol fatty acid ester, which is mainly used as food emulsifier. Propylene glycol is an excellent solvent for flavoring and coloring. Propylene glycol is often used in the industry as a solvent, softener and excipient for the manufacture of various ointments and ointments. Because propylene glycol has good miscibility with various spices, it is also used as a solvent and softener for cosmetics.
APPLICATION
-
Chemical and Industrial Manufacturing
Solvents and Carriers
:
As a solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesives, it improves product fluidity and film-forming properties, especially suitable for adjusting viscosity and preventing freezing in water-based coatings.
As a carrier solvent in pesticides and herbicides, it helps uniformly disperse active ingredients and enhance efficacy.
Antifreeze and Heat Transfer Media
:
Formulating industrial antifreeze (e.g., automotive coolants) due to its low freezing point (can drop below -50ºC when mixed with water) and low corrosivity to metals.
Used as heat transfer fluid in industrial equipment (e.g., air conditioners, refrigeration systems), providing both antifreeze and heat transfer functions.
Raw Material for Unsaturated Polyester Resins
:
Reacts with phthalic anhydride, maleicanhydride, etc., to produce unsaturated polyesters, which are used in manufacturing fiberglass, coatings, and artificial marble.
Plasticizers and Lubricants
:
Acts as a plasticizer in rubber and plastic processing to improve material flexibility; serves as a lubricant in metalworking fluids to reduce friction.
-
Food and Beverage Industry
Food Additives (Limited Use)
:
As an industrial-grade derivative of food-grade propylene glycol (meeting safety standards), it can function as:
Humectant:
Used in baked goods like bread and cakes to prevent moisture loss and extend shelf life.
Stabilizer:
Maintains uniformity in ice cream and jelly, preventing ice crystal formation.
Solvent:
Dissolves food colorants and flavors, commonly used in beverages and candies.
Tobacco Industry
:
As a humectant in tobacco, it retains moisture in tobacco leaves to improve taste and acts as a solvent for tobacco flavors.
-
Pharma ceuticals and Cosmetics
Pharma ceutical Excipients
:
As a drug solvent (e.g., oral liquids, injections) to dissolve water-insoluble pharma ceutical ingredients (meeting pharma ceutical-grade standards).Serves as a base for ointments and creams, regulating consistency and maintaining skin moisture.
Cosmetic Raw Materials
:
Acts as a humectant in skincare products (e.g., creams, lotions) to absorb moisture from the air and prevent skin dryness.Functions as a solvent in cosmetics to dissolve fragrances and active ingredients, commonly used in shampoos and body washes.
Energy & Environmental Protecti
on:
As a substitute for glycerol or co-reactant in transesterification, it aids in biodiesel production. Serves as a dehydrating agent for naturalgas, removing moisture to prevent pipeline freezing and corrosion.
Cigarette Liquid
:
Main component (mixed with glycerol) to produce aerosol and dissolve nicotine and flavors.
Reconstituted Tobacco Sheets
:
Used as a binder and humectant in manufacturing tobacco sheets.
Animal Feed
:
Acts as a humectant and antifungal agent in feed additives (meeting feed-grade standards) to maintain quality.
