DPG - INDUSTRIAL GRADE

It is a co-product from the manufacture of monopropylene glycol by the hydrolysis of propylene oxide (PO) with excess water at high temperature and high pressure. It is a distilled product of greater than 99.5% purity and is a mixture of three isomeric chemical compounds. It is a waterless, white, clear, odorless, hygroscopic liquid with low volatility. It is used as a reactive intermediate in the manufacturing of industrial high-performance unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers.

    Product Applications

    DPG is used as a solvent, coupling agent and chemical intermediate.

    • A reactant in unsaturated polyester resins to add flexibility and hydrolytic stability to the finished resin.
    • An initiator for urethane polyol synthesis using epoxides and for the polyol in rigid polyurethane foams.
    • A solvent in printing inks, a solvent in processes to extract aromatics from hydrocarbon mixtures, a solvent and coupling agent in hydraulic fluids and textile lubricants.
    • Esterification with benzoic acid to make dipropylene glycol dibenzoate for plasticizers
