Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Propylene Glycol Inhibited ACS Grade is a high-purity synthetic organic solvent and thermal fluid with the chemical formula C₃H₈O₂. Also known as Propane-1,2-diol or MPG, this clear, odorless liquid combines the rigorous purity specifications of ACS reagent grade material with a specialized inhibitor package. It is hygroscopic and fully miscible with water, acetone, and chloroform.

While standard inhibited glycols are often technical grade, this ACS Grade formulation maintains a typical assay weight percentage near 99.8% with a low impurity profile. The added inhibitors stabilize the fluid against oxidation and prevent corrosion in metallic piping systems, making it ideal for sensitive heat transfer applications, analytical workflows, and closed-loop cooling systems where standard industrial grades may introduce unwanted contaminants.
