Packaging and shipping
Propylene Carbonate (PC, CAS 108-32-7) is a high-purity, eco-friendly organic compound known as a versatile “green solvent” with low toxicity, high boiling point, and excellent chemical stability. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with molecular formula C₄H₆O₃ and molecular weight 102.09, featuring a density of 1.204 g/mL at 20 °C, melting point -49 °C, boiling point 242 °C, and flash point 132 °C (closed cup).
As a key component in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, PC enhances low-temperature performance and safety by forming stable SEI layers, ideal for high-voltage and cold-climate applications. It also serves as an efficient polar solvent in chemical synthesis, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning, used to dissolve polymers, formulate personal care products, and replace harmful traditional solvents. Our PC is available in industrial, battery, and cosmetic grades, backed by a stable supply chain and full compliance documentation to meet international quality standards.




Product Description
Propylene Carbonate (PC, CAS 108-32-7) is a high-purity, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly organic liquid with excellent stability, high boiling point, and strong solubility.
It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with molecular formula C₄H₆O₃ and molecular weight 102.09.
It has stable physical and chemical properties, low volatility, and good compatibility with most organic and inorganic materials, making it a widely used green solvent in modern industry.
Our PC is supplied in industrial grade, battery grade, and cosmetic grade, with strict quality control, complete certification, and stable supply to meet global market demands.
PC is mainly used as an important solvent and additive in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, which can improve battery low-temperature performance, safety, and cycle life.
It is also widely applied in chemical synthesis, polymer manufacturing, coatings, inks, and industrial cleaning systems as a high-efficiency, low-VOC green solvent.
In cosmetics and personal care products, PC acts as a mild solvent and moisturizing ingredient. For usage, it can be directly mixed with other carbonate solvents in battery production, used as a pure solvent in chemical reactions,
or added proportionally in coatings and cleaning formulations. It is easy to operate, safe to store and transport, and highly adaptable to various industrial production scenarios.
