Product Overview

Propylene Glycol 60% USP Grade is a higher-strength pre-diluted solution produced from USP-grade propylene glycol and deionized water for applications that require both a stronger glycol concentration and a higher-purity feedstock profile. It is intended for operations that need reliable concentration control without the variability of on-site mixing.

This 60% solution is commonly selected for lower-temperature heat-transfer duties, sensitive formulation processes, and equipment support applications where low toxicity, cleaner raw material standards, and consistent batch quality are important. It combines the practical handling benefits of a ready-to-use solution with the commercial flexibility of multiple package sizes.

Key Properties

  • Concentration: 60% Propylene Glycol Solution
  • Grade: USP
  • Appearance: Clear, colorless, slightly viscous liquid
  • Formula: C3H8O2
  • CAS Number: 57-55-6
  • Specific Gravity (20°C): 1.043
  • Boiling Point: 188°C
  • Use Profile: Stronger high-purity glycol solution for sensitive cooling and process support

Common Applications

  • Food & Beverage Cooling: Used in glycol loops and process equipment where USP-grade feedstock is preferred.
  • Pharmaceutical Support Systems: Suitable for non-sterile utility and formulation processes that require cleaner raw materials.
  • Cosmetic & Personal Care Manufacturing: Functions as a high-purity solvent, carrier, or humectant support ingredient.
  • Low-Temperature Utility Service: Chosen for systems that need stronger freeze protection while maintaining a low-toxicity profile.

Safety & Handling

Store in clean HDPE, stainless steel, or similarly compatible containers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers. Use standard PPE during handling, including gloves and eye protection. Refer to the SDS for complete handling, storage, and emergency-response guidance.

Benefits

Ready-to-Use Strength - Minimizes dilution errors and simplifies deployment.
USP-Grade Feedstock - Better aligned with food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing expectations.
Low-Toxicity Profile - Preferred where incidental-contact concerns rule out ethylene glycol.
Broad Packaging Range - Available from small containers to bulk totes.
