Propylene Glycol Solvent Market Segment by Product Type, Region and Application to 2021

Global Propylene Glycol Solvent Market is segmented, by product type, by application, and by region. Propylene is a synthetic product obtained from the hydration of propylene oxide, which is derived from petroleum products. Propylene glycol, C3H8O2 or HO-CH2-CHOH-CH3, also called as 1,2- propanediol or propane-1,2-diol is colorless, odorless an organic compound. It is a clear, viscous liquid with a faintly sweet taste, hygroscopic and miscible with water, acetone, and chloroform. The compound is sometimes called α-propylene glycol to distinguish it from the isomer propane-1,3-diol HO-(CH2)3-OH, also called β-propylene glycol.

Propylene glycol is a carbon-based, small molecule that belongs to the “alcohol” family, along with the more familiar compounds “isopropyl (rubbing alcohol)” and “ethanol (drinking alcohol)”. Mostly, however, propylene glycol comes across as an effective solvent and is a common ingredient in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and deodorant sticks.Propylene Glycol is a basic chemical which is processed in large quantities all over the world. Propylene glycol is used as solvent in the manufacturing of care products such as mouthwashes, ointments, skin creams, toothpastes, shampoos and perfumes, and in the pharma industry.


Propylene Oxide based glycols are used in as humectants and extraction liquids; apart from being used as solvents. They are also used as antifreeze agent for sprinkler systems and refrigerators. Furthermore, Propylene Glycol is used as a component for producing hydraulic fluids and fire-resistant brake, as one of the starter molecules for raw materials of paints and colors, as a raw material to de-ice planes as well as to heat fluids for high-temperature work. As a food additive, propylene glycol is on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally regarded as safe list. According the FDA, as a food additive, propylene glycol is metabolized in the body and is used as a normal carbohydrate source.Propylene Glycol Solvent Market is classified, by product type into Mono-propylene glycol (MPG), Di-propylene glycol (DPG), and Tri-propylene glycol (TPG).

DPG and TPG show greater solvency than MPG. Tripropylene glycol, has the most extensive solvent properties of the entire glycol group. MPG is used as a basic component in the food and beverage and in the animal feed industry.

Propylene Glycol Solvent Market is classified, by application into Chemical Processing, Pharmaceuticals, Transportation, Asphalt Production, Plastics & Rubber Processing, Electronics, Food & Beverage Processing, Metal Processing, and Agricultural Chemicals. Propylene glycol acts as a softening agent, ointment base, preservative, humectants, and emollient. Petroleum Refining Propylene Glycol Solvent Market is segmented, geographically into North America, Europe (Eastern Europe, Western Europe), Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa.

Propylene Glycol Solvent Market key players are BASF SE, BP plc, Eastman Chemical Company, Honeywell, Chalmette Refining, Arkema SA, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, Dow Chemical Company, Coatis, see Solvay, Huntsman Corporation, Croda International plc, Dow Chemical Company, Lyondellbasell, OXEA, Solvay SA and Symrise AG.
