Usage

General Description

Propanediol, also known as 1,2-propanediol or propylene glycol, is a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid chemical compound. It is a diol, which means it has two hydroxyl groups, and is primarily used as a solvent, humectant, and viscosity decreasing agent in various industries including food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. It is a common ingredient in cosmetic and skincare products due to its moisturizing and hydrating properties. Propanediol is also used as a carrier for flavors and colors in the food industry, and as a solvent in pharmaceutical products. Additionally, it is used in antifreeze and de-icing solutions, as well as in the production of polyester resins, lubricants, and plasticizers. Its low toxicity and versatility make it a popular choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
