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, acetone, and chloroform. 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.
Propylene glycol (IUPAC name: propane-1,2-diol) is a viscous, colorless liquid, which is nearly odorless but possesses a faintly sweet taste. Its chemical formula is CH3CH(OH)CH2OH. Containing two alcohol groups, it is classed as a diol. It is miscible with a broad range of solvents, including water, acetone, and chloroform. In general, glycols are non-irritating and have very low volatility.
It is produced on a large scale primarily for the production of polymers. In the European Union, it has E-number E1520 for food applications. For cosmetics and pharmacology, the number is E490. Propylene glycol is also present in propylene glycol alginate, which is known as E405. Propylene glycol is a compound which is GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the US Food and Drug Administration under 21 CFR x184.1666, and is also approved by the FDA for certain uses as an indirect food additive. Propylene glycol is approved and used as a vehicle for topical, oral, and some intravenous pharmaceutical preparations in the U.S. and in Europe.
