Monopropylene Glycol

Product Description

Monopropylene glycol is a clear, colourless and viscous liquid with a characteristic odour and has the formula C3H8O2. This solvent is soluble in water and holds hygroscopic properties, meaning it can attract hard water molecules. 

It is used across a wide range of industries as it has low toxicity, coupled with a freezing point which is depressed upon mixing with water.

Synonyms:

  • Propylene glycol
  • PG
  • propan1
  • 2diol
  • MPG

Specifications of MPG

Mono propylene glycol is produced from propylene oxide.  The most common process is by the non-catalytic hydrolysis of propylene oxide in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.  The second method is the catalytic one, which can proceed at 150 °C, in the presence of ion exchange resin, or a small amount of sulphuric acid or alkali.  It can also be produced from glycerol which is a bio-diesel by-product.
