APPLICATIONS |
||
| Propylene Glycol is a colourless, viscous, colorless liquid. It is miscible with water alcohol, and many solvents. This versatile PO (propylene oxide) derivative has wide range of applications including industrial solvents, paint and coating solvents, polyester and alkyd resins, antifreeze coolants, heat transfer fluids, deicing fluids, plasticizers, detergents and surfactants, and bactericide. USP grade is used in foods, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. Propylene glycol dimethyl ether is used as a solvent for celluloses, acrylics, epoxides, alkyds, polyesters, and polyurethane; solvent-sealing of cellophane; and in heat-transfer fluids; Cleaners (low toxicity, surface tension reduction); Chemical Intermediate | ||
