Propylene Glycol Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025

Propylene glycol can be defined as viscous, colorless, hydroscopic liquid, having a low degree of toxicity with a faint sweet taste. It is the product of chemical reaction between propylene oxide and water. It has a unique property of being chemically neutral which means it does not react with other chemicals or compounds. This unique property of propylene glycol makes it useful in the production of contrasting elements such as perfumes. Owing to its hygroscopic nature it is miscible with acetone, water, and chloroform. It is used as solvent, acts as an emulsifier and excipient, holds and dissolves active ingredients equally in the medium, and reduces freezing points. It is commonly manufactured in two grades namely, industrial grade or technical grade and USD/EP grade. Propylene glycol is used in wide variety of applications namely cosmetics & personal care products, unsaturated polyester resins, liquid detergents, functional fluids and antifreezes. Whereas dipropylene glycol is used in plasticizers, unsaturated polyester resin, and personal care applications. Tripropylene glycol is used in the production of acrylates and polyurethanes. Propylene glycol is also used as a humectant, preservative in tobacco and food products, solvents and as a major constituent of e-liquid that is used in electric cigarettes with vegetable glycerin.
