Propylene Glycol Market Application scope analysis and competitive landscape assessment size share and growth industry overview by 2030
Propylene Glycol Market Overview Propylene glycol (PG) is a synthetic organic molecule with the molecular formula C3H8O2 and the chemical formula C3H8O2. Propane-1,2-diol is another name for it. Propylene glycol is a transparent, odorless, viscous liquid with a mild sweet flavor. It’s hygroscopic, non-toxic, and has a wide range of solvency. Propylene glycol can be made from petroleum or bio-based materials. Synthetic propylene glycol is made by hydrating propylene oxide either catalytically or non-catalytically, whereas bio-based propylene glycol is made through hydrogenolysis of glycerin. There are two types of Propylene Glycol Market industrial grade and medicinal grade. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved propylene glycol for use as a food additive under E-number E 1520, with a tight maximum limit of 1 g/kg in human meals. It’s utilized as a solvent, anti-freeze agent, flavor enhancer, thickening, emulsifier, humectant, clarifier, and stabilizer in food products
