Industry and News Propylene Glycol Solvent Market | Page 2

however, propylene glycol comes across as an effective solvent and is a common ingredient in
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and deodorant sticks. Propylene Glycol is a basic chemical which is
processed in large quantities all over the world. Propylene glycol is used as solvent in the
manufacturing of care products such as mouthwashes, ointments, skin creams, toothpastes,
shampoos and perfumes, and in the pharma industry.
Propylene Oxide based glycols are used in as humectants and extraction liquids; apart from being
used as solvents. They are also used as antifreeze agent for sprinkler systems and refrigerators.
Furthermore, Propylene Glycol is used as a component for producing hydraulic fluids and fire-
resistant brake, as one of the starter molecules for raw materials of paints and colors, as a raw
material to de-ice planes as well as to heat fluids for high-temperature work. As a food additive,
propylene glycol is on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally regarded as safe list.
According the FDA, as a food additive, propylene glycol is metabolized in the body and is used as a
normal carbohydrate source. Propylene Glycol Solvent Market is classified, by product type into
Mono-propylene glycol (MPG), Di-propylene glycol (DPG), and Tri-propylene glycol (TPG).

DPG and TPG show greater solvency than MPG. Tripropylene glycol, has the most extensive solvent
properties of the entire glycol group. MPG is used as a basic component in the food and beverage
and in the animal feed industry. DPG and TPG have several structure and stereo chemical isomers.
These chemicals find number of applications. Generally, these chemicals are available in high purity
product so well defined manufacturing is possible in chemical industries.
