Dipropylene glycol

Dipropylene glycol (C6H14O3) is a mixture of the isomers 1,1'-oxidi-2-propanol (CAS 108-61-2), 2-(2'-hydroxypropoxy)-1-propanol (CAS 106-62-7) and 2,2'-oxidi-1-propanol (CAS 110-98-5). It is a colourless, hygroscopic liquid, miscible in water in any ratio and highly soluble in most organic solvents.

Datasheet

 

Dipropylene glycol-LO

DPG-LO is the Low Odour compliant grade of Dipropylene Glycol (DPG). It is a clear, colourless, odourless, and hygroscopic liquid, completely soluble in water.

DPG-LO is miscible in all proportions with low molecular weight aliphatic alcohols and ketones. It is slightly to moderately soluble in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and only slightly miscible with aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents.

DPG-LO, as produced, meets the volatile organic compound (VOC) exemption criteria and definition of LVP-VOC as established in CARB's Consumer Products Regulation; in the USEPA's National Volatile Organic Compound Emissions Standards for Consumer Products; and in the Model Rule for Consumer Products as adopted by the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC).

Due to their low volatility and photochemical reactivity, these LVP-VOCs are fully exempt and non-reportable VOCs in calculations of the VOC contents of regulated consumer product categories.

Monopropylene glycol

Monopropylene glycol (C3H8O2), also known as 1,2-Propanediol or 1,2-propylen glycol (CAS 57-55-6), is a colourless, viscous, odourless liquid. It is highly hygroscopic and miscible in all ratios with water, alcohols, esters, ketones and amines. It has limited miscibility with halogenated hydrocarbons and is not miscible with aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Monopropylene glycol (USP)

MPG - USP is the US Pharmacopoeia compliant grade of monopropylene glycol (MPG). It is a clear, colourless and practically odourless, hygroscopic liquid, completely soluble in water. MPG - USP is miscible in all proportions with low molecular weight aliphatic alcohols and ketones. It is slightly to moderately soluble in aromatics hydrocarbon solvents and only slightly miscible with aliphatics hydrocarbon solvents.
