Polypropylene Glycol
Polypropylene glycol (PPG) is a versatile polymer compound with diverse industrial applications. It is a type of polyether glycol formed through the polymerization of propylene oxide. PPG is characterized by its low toxicity, high stability, and excellent solubility in water and organic solvents. Due to these properties, it is commonly used as a solvent, lubricant, and surfactant in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and automotive.
In pharmaceuticals, PPG serves as a base for oral and topical medications, while in cosmetics, it functions as a humectant and emollient in skincare products. Additionally, PPG finds application as a hydraulic fluid in aviation and as a heat transfer fluid in industrial processes. Its versatility and compatibility with other materials make polypropylene glycol an indispensable component in a wide range of products and processes.
