Propylene Glycol Product Introduction Our Propylene Glycol (PG) is a colorless, odorless, hygroscopic organic compound belonging to the glycol family. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to its excellent hygroscopicity, high boiling point, reliable chemical stability, low volatility and low toxicity.Our PG features strong moisture absorption capability and outstanding solvent properties, with mild nature, making it an ideal raw material for formulations in cosmetics, food & pharmaceuticals, industrial coatings and more.



Product Description
Propylene Glycol (PG) is a colorless, transparent, viscous liquid with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, mainly used as a solvent, humectant, antifreeze agent and chemical raw material.
The main application areas of Propylene Glycol include:
Cosmetics & Personal Care
• Humectant & Emollient: Serves as a moisturizing ingredient in emulsions, shampoos, bath products, etc., helping to retain skin moisture and improve skin feel.
• Solvent & Penetration Enhancer: Acts as an excellent solvent for fragrances and active ingredients in perfumes and skincare products, enhancing product stability and skin permeability.
• Carrier Solvent: Used in hair care solutions, skin cleansing solutions, hand and body care products, etc.
Food Industry
• Food Additive: Functions as a solvent and humectant for synthetic food flavors.
• Texture Modifier: Applied in candies, baked goods, and beverages to maintain product texture and prevent drying.
• Flavor Solvent: Dissolves and stabilizes various flavor components, extending the retention of aroma.
Pharmaceutical Industry
• Pharmaceutical Solvent: Serves as a solvent and carrier in liquids, injections, and external ointments, facilitating the dissolution and absorption of drug ingredients.
• Humectant: Exhibits good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and low irritation, suitable for topical preparations such as ointments and suppositories.
• Excipient: Used in oral liquids and syrups to improve taste and formulation stability.
Other Industrial Applications
• Slow-Drying Solvent: Utilized in paints, varnishes, and printing inks to improve spreadability and gloss.
• Plasticizer & Resin Raw Material: Enhances the flexibility, cold resistance, and impact resistance of coatings and inks; also a key raw material for unsaturated polyester resins and polyurethanes.
• Antifreeze Agent: Applied in automotive antifreeze fluids and airport de-icing solutions to lower the freezing point of aqueous solutions.
• Tobacco Humectant: Used in tobacco products to maintain moisture in tobacco shreds and improve smoking taste.
