Function
Propylene glycol industrial grade is an important intermediate in the production of alkyd resins for paints and varnishes. It is the preferred propylene glycol for manufacturing high-performance, unsaturated polyester resins for many uses such as reinforced plastic laminates for marine construction, gel coats, sheet molding compounds (SMC), synthetic marble castings. Propylene glycol is also used as a solvent in printing inks, as a preservative in floral arrangements, and as a stabilizer in hydraulic fluids.
