2. Propylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol

   Propylene glycol (IUPAC name: propane-1,2-diol) is a viscous, colorless liquid.It is almost odorless and has a faintly sweet taste. Its chemical formula is CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 OH. . As it contains two alcohol groups, it is classified as a d

3. Glycol ethers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_ethers

   Glycol ethers are designated "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.Typically, E-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while P-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.

4. Polypropylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_glycol

   Polypropylene glycol is produced by ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide. The initiator is an alcohol and the catalyst a base, usually potassium hydroxide. When the initiator is ethylene glycol or water the polymer is linear. With a multifunctional initiator like glycerine, pentaerythritol or sorbitol the polymer branches out ...

5. Green solvent - Wikipedia

   [22] [23] Propylene carbonate and two DBEs are considered green in the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Solvent Sustainability Guide, which is used in the pharmaceutical industry. [24] Propylene carbonate can be produced from renewable resources, but DBEs that have appeared on the market in recent years are obtained as by-products of the ...

6. Diol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

   Examples include ethane-1,2-diol or ethylene glycol HO−(CH 2) 2 −OH, a common ingredient of antifreeze products. Another example is propane-1,2-diol, or alpha propylene glycol, HO−CH 2 −CH(OH)−CH 3, used in the food and medicine industry, as well as a relatively non-poisonous antifreeze product.

7. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

   Propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol and may be labeled as "non-toxic antifreeze". It is used as antifreeze where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes where incidental ingestion may be possible.
