  2. Propylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol

    Related to this application, propylene glycol reacts with propylene oxide to give oligomers and polymers that are used to produce polyurethanes. [7] Propylene glycol is used in water-based acrylic architectural paints to extend dry time which it accomplishes by preventing the surface from drying due to its slower evaporation rate compared to water.

  3. Glycol ethers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_ethers

    Glycol ethers are a class of chemical compounds consisting of alkyl ethers that are based on glycols such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. They are commonly used as solvents in paints and cleaners. They have good solvent properties while having higher boiling points than the lower-molecular-weight ethers and alcohols.

  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. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    The most common water-based antifreeze solutions used in electronics cooling are mixtures of water and either ethylene glycol (EGW) or propylene glycol (PGW). The use of ethylene glycol has a longer history, especially in the automotive industry. However, EGW solutions formulated for the automotive industry often have silicate based rust ...

  6. Ethoxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethoxylation

    Propylene oxide is more hydrophobic than ethylene oxide and its inclusion at low levels can significantly affect the properties of the surfactant. In particular ethoxylated fatty alcohols which have been 'capped' with ~1 propylene oxide unit are extensively marketed as defoamers .

  7. Poly (propylene glycol) diglycidyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(propylene_glycol...

    There are a number of variations depending on the starting molecular weight of the polypropylene glycol. [1] They have the formula (C 3 H 6 O) n .C 6 H 10 O 3 [ 2 ] and the IUPAC name is Poly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)],a-(2-oxiranylmethyl)-w-(2-oxiranylmethoxy)- [ 3 ] A key use is as a modifier for epoxy resins as a reactive diluent and ...

  9. 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.
