| 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. |

| Acrylic Monomers | Acrylic acid serves as an essential building block in the production of many useful and important industrial and consumer products. Acrylic acid is used to produce acrylic esters including methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, which are then polymerized and used as ingredients in paints, coatings, textiles, adhesives and many other applications. Acrylic acid is also used to produce polyacrylic acid, or crosslinked polyacrylic acid compounds, which are used in the manufacture of detergents and waste water treatment chemicals as well as superabsorbent polymers for diapers and hygiene products. |
