Description

What is Polypropylene Glycol (PPG)?

Polypropylene Glycol (PPG) is a versatile polymer derived from propylene oxide. Known for its reactive hydroxyl groups, it serves as an essential intermediate in the production of various industrial and consumer goods. It is widely used in polyurethanes, lubricants, adhesives, elastomers, paints, and de-icing compounds. Compared to Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), it is less toxic, making it a preferred choice in biotechnological and industrial applications.

At Chemex Chemicals, we supply high-quality Polypropylene Glycol in different grades to meet the diverse needs of industries worldwide.
