product description
Propylene Glycol USP/EP/FCC (CAS 57-55-6) is a high-purity (>99.5%) multi-functional liquid solvent and humectant compliant with global pharmacopeia standards. As a USP-grade pharmaceutical excipient, it serves as low-endotoxin (≤0.5EU/ml) injection solvent; in cosmetics, it acts as OECD 439-certified low-irritant humectant; for food processing, FCC-grade PG functions as antifreeze carrier (21 CFR 184.1666); while industrial applications leverage its low-toxicity antifreeze properties (-59°C, ASTM D1384). Technical documentation available.

Product Usage

Propylene glycol is a versatile, colorless, and odorless liquid widely utilized for its excellent solvent, humectant, and preservative properties. In the food and beverage industry, it serves as a safe carrier for flavors and colors, and as a humectant to maintain moisture in baked goods and dairy products. Its role in cosmetics and personal care is equally vital, acting as a moisture-retaining agent in lotions, shampoos, and toothpastes to ensure smooth application and skin hydration. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is used as a solvent for injectable and oral medications to enhance stability and absorption. Additionally, it has significant industrial applications, notably as a non-toxic antifreeze and heat-transfer fluid in HVAC systems, as well as a key raw material for manufacturing high-performance unsaturated polyester resins.
