Product Description:
Propylene glycol (IUPAC name: propane-1,2-diol) is a colorless, viscous liquid with a faintly sweet taste and almost no odor. Chemically represented as CH3CH(OH)CH2OH, it belongs to the class of diols, containing two hydroxyl (–OH) groups, which gives it excellent solubility and versatility. As an aliphatic glycol, propylene glycol is miscible with a wide range of solvents, including water, acetone, and chloroform, making it a highly adaptable excipient in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food formulations.
In pharmaceuticals, propylene glycol is widely used as a solvent, humectant, and carrier for oral, topical, and parenteral formulations. Its low volatility, non-irritating nature, and biocompatibility make it ideal for enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs and ensuring uniform distribution of active ingredients. Additionally, propylene glycol functions as a stabilizer and moisture-retaining agent, improving the texture, shelf-life, and performance of liquid and semi-solid preparations.
Beyond pharmaceuticals, propylene glycol is extensively employed in cosmetics, personal care products, and food applications, where it acts as a moisturizer, preservative enhancer, and solvent for flavorings and active ingredients. Its safety, versatility, and broad compatibility make propylene glycol an essential excipient in modern formulation development.
