APPLICATIONS
Tripropylene Glycol, distilled by hydrolysis of PO (Propylene oxide), is a colourless, viscous, colorless liquid featuring low toxicity, low volatility, slow evaporation and water miscibility. It and its ethers are not toxic and can be used in food, soaps and personal care products as well as industrial applications such as;
  • Initiator for urethane polyols
  • Manufacturing polyester plastics
  • As a solvent and homogenising agent for inks and other coloring materials
  • Varnish removers
  • Hard surface cleaning formulations, and penetrating oils
  • Additive for carburettor fuels as a lubricant and anti-freezing agent
  • An ingredient of plasticizers, emulsifiers and hydraulic fluids.
  • Cooling media and a disinfectants in cosmetics
