Short Description
It is a very small molecule composed of 3 carbon atoms, 2 oxygen atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms. It is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid that is odorless and has a slightly sweet taste. Chemically classified as a diol, it can be mixed with various solvents such as water, acetone, and chloroform. It mixes with water in all proportions, but less so with alcohols, esters and ketones.
- Polyurethane and polyester production,
- As a process fluid at low temperature heat exchange applications,
- To stop the growth of microorganisms in solutions,
- To make starch and gluten more stable at dough,
- As a solvent in the aroma and essential oil industry, medicine and cosmetics,
- In the lubrication of machines used in the tobacco and cosmetic industry and the freezing machines in the food industry,
- Mouthwash, toothpastes, ointments, skin creams, shampoos and perfumes (solutions containing propylene glycol remain generally clear even when diluted too much with water),
- As a preservative in cosmetic products in the formation of emulsions,
- As an extractor to obtain active extracts from natural extracts,
- Cosmetic and detergent due to softening properties on the skin
- Low toxicity, environmentally friendly automotive antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol,
- In order to protect the shelf life of foods against oxygen-induced deterioration,
- To prevent food components from sticking together,
- To prevent the separation of food components such as oil and vinegar in salad sauce,
- To help foods maintain a stable moisture level and to prevent drying
- C3H8O2 (CH3CHOHCH2OH)
