Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol, or propane-1,2-diol, is a viscous, colorless liquid with a faintly sweet taste and nearly odorless. Its chemical formula is CH3CH(OH)CH2OH, which categorizes it as a diol due to its two alcohol groups. Miscible with various solvents, including water, acetone, and chloroform, glycols generally are non-irritating and exhibit very low volatility.

Applications of Propylene Glycol

• Antifreeze and Coolants: Propylene glycol is commonly used as a non-toxic antifreeze agent in automotive and industrial cooling systems. It prevents freezing and provides corrosion protection to metallic components.
• Heat Transfer Fluids: Due to its low viscosity, high boiling point, and thermal stability, propylene glycol is utilized as a heat transfer fluid in heating and cooling systems, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems and solar thermal systems.
• Deicing and Aircraft Anti-Icing Fluids: Propylene glycol is used in deicing and anti-icing fluids to remove or prevent the formation of ice on aircraft wings, runways, and other surfaces. It is effective at low temperatures and exhibits low environmental impact.
• Humectants and Solvents: Propylene glycol serves as a humectant and solvent in various industrial applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and tobacco products. It helps retain moisture, dissolve active ingredients, and improve product consistency.
• Hydraulic Fluids: In hydraulic systems, propylene glycol-based fluids are used as hydraulic fluids due to their lubricating properties, thermal stability, and non-toxic nature. They provide reliable performance in a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions.
• Fog and Smoke Effects: Propylene glycol is employed in theatrical productions, concerts, and entertainment events to create fog and smoke effects. It is vaporized and dispersed using specialized equipment to produce realistic atmospheric effects.
• Firefighting Foams: Propylene glycol is used as a component in firefighting foams to enhance foam stability, extinguishing effectiveness, and resistance to freezing.
