Product Overview

Propylene glycol PG is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O2. Its European food additive number is E1520. The chemical structure of propylene glycol consists of a 3-carbon backbone with hydroxyl groups at each end, hence it is classified as a diol. Its systematic name is propane-1,2-diol, an alcohol derived from propylene. PG is easily soluble in water and many organic solvents. Propylene glycol has been widely used in food, pharmaceutical, veterinary, cosmetic and other applications.

The main application of Propylene Glycol

Propylene glycol in food functions as a humectant, carrier, and preservative, essential for maintaining moisture, texture, and consistency in baked goods, frozen desserts, dressings, and flavor extracts.
Propylene glycol in medicine is a key excipient for oral solutions, injections, ointments, and topical products, aiding in the improvement of solubility and stability.
Propylene glycol in skin care and personal care products, such as moisturizers, shampoos, deodorants, and makeup, serves as a humectant, emollient, and viscosity reducer.
Propylene glycol as an antifreeze and deicer in automotive and aircraft applications prevents freezing due to propylene glycol antifreeze low freezing point and high boiling point.
Propylene glycol in paints, adhesives, and liquid detergents is employed as a moisture stabilizer, carrier solvent, and consistency enhancer.
Propylene glycol in industrial applications is utilized as a heat transfer fluid and hydraulic fluid.
