PROPYLENE GLYCOL USP

This versatile ingredient serves various functions across different industries. In animal feed & nutrition, it functions as an emulsifier and humectant. In base chemicals and CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers) ingredients, it acts as a solvent. In food ingredients, it plays multiple roles including antioxidant, emulsifier, humectant, mold inhibitor, solvent, and stabilizer. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a range of formulations in animal nutrition, chemicals, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and food applications.
