Propylene glycol/PG

Propylene glycol, abbreviated as PG, is a common binary alcohol compound widely used in the chemical industry and many other fields.
Firstly, from a safety perspective, propylene glycol has relatively low toxicity, making it a relatively safe chemical raw material. Compared to other toxic or flammable chemicals, the use of propylene glycol is safer and poses less harm to human health and the environment.
Secondly, propylene glycol has good water absorption, which means it can absorb and retain a large amount of water or other liquids. This characteristic makes it very useful in many situations where materials need to be kept moist or liquids need to be used. For example, in pharmaceutical production, propylene glycol is often used as a moisturizer; In the process of food processing, its water absorption performance can be utilized to ensure the taste and quality of the food.
In addition, propylene glycol can also react with various chemical substances to produce a series of different derivatives such as esters and ethers. This chemical reactivity endows propylene glycol with a wider range of uses and application value. In addition to the main application areas mentioned above, propylene glycol also plays an important role in multiple industries such as plastic processing, coating manufacturing, and tobacco products.
Overall, due to its excellent performance in safety, water absorption, and chemical stability, propylene glycol has become an indispensable basic chemical in modern society.
