Propyle Glycol Industrial Grade (PGI)
Propylene Glycol Industrial Grade (PGI) is a colorless, odorless and slightly viscous liquid.
Applications
- Unsaturated polyester resins.
- Coolants and Antifreeze.
- Hydraulic and Brake Fluid.
- Aircraft Deicing Fluid.
- Heat Transfer Fluids.
- Paint and Coatings.
Benefits to the customer
Its properties make it suitable for the following uses:
- As aircraft de-icer, enabling safe air transport and ensuring that surfaces are smooth enough for the aircraft to stay in the air.
- In paints and coatings, providing sustainable weather and wear protection.
- In liquid detergents, improving hygienic conditions.
- As a basic building block in the production of other formable plastics such as unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) used e.g. in construction, ship hulls, automotive and electrical components, furniture, heavy-impact surfaces (floors, kitchen, bathroom) or wind turbine blades.
