Use cases of Propylene Glycol (USP Grade) in Malaysia
- Food Industry
– Propylene glycol (USP Grade) acts as a flavor carrier, humectant, and stabilizer for foods such as cakes, frostings, food colour, and flavor concentrates as well. - Shampoo and Body Wash
– PG Usp grade helps to improve skin feel, keeps fragrances from being dissolved, and also prevents the product from drying out. The main reason for using USP grade instead of technical is that shampoo and body wash come in contact with human skin. USP grade offers better purity control. - Animal Feed
– It functions as a direct source of energy. It is administered to animals orally, as animals can convert it into glucose. - Lotions and Cream
– Similarly to shampoo and body wash, PG USP brings better texture to lotions and creams. It also acts as a solvent for vitamins and other ingredients as well.
Use cases of Propylene Glycol (Technical Grade) in Malaysia

– Propylene glycol helps to prevent paint from drying too fast. It also helps to reduce surface defects. - Industrial Cleaners
– PG technical grade can be used as a solvent in degreasing, especially for oil. grease and dirt. It is also safer compared to using hydrocarbon solvents.
