Monopropylene Glycol (MPG)
Monopropylene Glycol (MPG) is a versatile polyol widely used as a solvent, humectant, and carrier in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, food, and industrial formulations. It has low toxicity, is chemically stable, and is hygroscopic, meaning it can retain moisture. MPG improves texture, prevents drying, and enhances solubility of active ingredients.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in oral, topical, and injectable formulations as a solvent and carrier for drugs.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Humectant in creams, lotions, shampoos, and deodorants; improves texture and moisture retention.
• Food Industry: Used as a humectant, solvent, and carrier for flavors and colors.
• Industrial: Anti-freeze, de-icing fluid, heat transfer fluid, and solvent in paints, coatings, and plastics
