Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Other Glycol

Propylene glycol is just one of a few glycols, a group that gathers alcohols called diols, substances that have two hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Glycols differ from each other in the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms. In our offer, among others, you will find various glycols: monoethylene (MEG), diethynele (DEG), triethylene (TEG), polyethylene (PEG), monopropylene (MPG), dipropylene (DPG), or polypropylene (PPG).
