Specification

【 Product Introduction 】
Methyl propylene glycol is a transparent liquid with low viscosity. Miscible with water, methanol, ethanol, butanol, propylene glycol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, carbonate lactone, styrene, insoluble in cyclohexane, hexane, toluene, xylene. At about -54℃, the viscosity increases and the crystallization is not obvious.

MPO is widely used in personal care products, such as sunscreen, hair lotion, skin care products,lipstick and nail polish, etc. This is mainly due to MPO’s low toxicity, transparency, low volatility, hydration,antibacterialproperties, etc., which enables water-based and oil-based substances to have excellent properties such as good stability and transparency, and has widely replaced high-performance alcohols such as glycerol, propylene glycol, pentylene glycol, and sorbitol.
【 Features and uses 】
1. Methylpropylene glycol is a low molecular weight and high boiling point diol containing 2 primary hydroxyl groups and lateral methyl groups. It is liquid at room temperature. Compared with neopentanediol, it is easy to measure and pump.
2, in the field of polyurethane for the production of low crystallization polyester polyols, and can be used as chain extender, the application of synthetic leather slurry, polyurethane coatings, food flexible packaging composite polyurethane adhesive.
