| Propylene Glycols | Propylene Glycols (PG) play a significant role in the manufacture of many industrial and end-use products, such as: antifreezes; coolants; aircraft and runway deicing fluids; heat transfer fluids; solvent fluids; flavors and fragrances; cosmetics and personal care products; pharmaceuticals; chemical intermediates; hydraulic fluids; plasticizers and thermoset plastics. Dow’s extensive, global PG and derivatives offering includes: Propylene Glycol Industrial Grade (PGI); Propylene Glycol USP/EP Grade (PG USP/EP); Dipropylene Glycol Regular Grade (DPG); Dipropylene Glycol LO+ Grade (DPG LO+); Tripropylene Glycol Regular Grade (TPG) and Tripropylene Glycol Acrylate Grade (TPG Ac). |
| Propylene Oxide | Propylene Oxide is a versatile chemical intermediate used in a wide range of industrial and commercial products, including polyether polyols, propylene glycols and propylene glycol ethers. Polyether polyols are one of the main components in the production of urethanes, which are used in many consumer applications, such as rigid foam insulation and flexible foam seat cushions. Propylene glycols are used in a wide variety of end-use applications, from cosmetics and household detergents to paints and automotive brake fluids. Other products made using propylene oxide are: flame retardants, modified carbohydrates (starches), synthetic lubricants, oil-drilling chemicals and textile surfactants. |
