Solubility: It can be mixed with water and other organic solvents.
Propylene Glycol is a viscous colourless liquid which is nearly odourless but possesses a faintly sweet taste.Forty-five percent of propylene glycol produced is used as chemical feedstock for the production of unsaturated polyester resins. Propylene glycol is used as a humectant, solvent, and preserva-tive in food and for products.
Propylene glycol is used for similar applications as other glycols.
Propylene glycol is an important raw material for unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin, and polyurethane resin. The use amount in this area accounts for about 45% of the total consumption of propylene glycol. Such unsaturated polyester is used extensively for reinforced plastics and surface coatings.

Application:
Its most important end use is in the production of unsaturated polyester resins that, in turn, go into items that effect our daily lives, like water tanks, or our leisure time, like sailing boats. It can also be used as plasticizer, surface active agent, emulsifying agent and demulsifying agent, mould inhibitor, antiseptic for fruit, ice inhibitor and moisture preserving agent for tobacco.
