Details
Propylene glycol is a colorless, viscous, stable, water-absorbing liquid that is almost tasteless and odorless. It is miscible with water, ethanol and a variety of organic solvents. However, it is immiscible with petroleum ether, paraffin and grease. It is relatively stable to heat and light, and even more stable at low temperatures. Propylene glycol has good solubility, low toxicity and irritation, and is commonly used in various industries such as food, medicine and cosmetics.
