Applications

1. Propylene glycol is an important raw material for unsaturated polyesters, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, plasticizers, and surfactants. This unsaturated polyester is widely used in surface coatings and reinforced plastics.

2. In the food industry, propylene glycol reacts with fatty acids to form propylene glycol fatty acid esters. It is mainly used as a food emulsifier. Propylene glycol is an excellent solvent for seasonings and pigments. Because of its low toxicity, it is used as a solvent for spices and food coloring in the food industry.

3. Propylene glycol is used as a solvent, softener and excipient in the manufacture of various ointments and ointments in the pharmaceutical industry.

4. Used as a solvent and softener for cosmetics.

5. An aqueous solution of propylene glycol is an effective antifreeze. It is also used as a tobacco wetting agent, antifungal agent, fruit ripening preservative, antifreeze, and heat carrier.
