Appearance

Clear, colorless, odorless liquid with the consistency of syrup

Function

Propylene Glycol is used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain cosmetics, medicines and food products. In the human body, Propylene Glycol is metabolized into lactic acid, which occurs naturally when muscles are exercised. Propylene glycol is used as an humectant, solvent, and preservative in food and for tobacco products, as well as being one of the major ingredients of the "e-liquid" used in electronic cigarettes . Forty-five percent of propylene glycol produced is used as chemical feedstock for the production of unsaturated polyester resins.
