Versatile Industrial Applications

Dipropylene Glycol is valued for its high solubility, low odor, and stability, making it an essential ingredient in the automotive, chemical, and related industries. Its clear, viscous nature and compatibility with numerous solvents enhance its usability across a broad range of processes including antifreeze formulations, lubricants, and as a carrier fluid.

Safe and Easy Handling

DPG is classified as non-hazardous for transport, ensuring safer handling and minimal regulatory constraints. Its storage in cool, dry, and ventilated areas away from direct sunlight maintains product quality. The steel drum, IBC, or tanker packaging supports bulk storage requirements for industrial users.

FAQs of DI PROPYLENE GLYCOL (DPG):

Q: How should Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) be stored to ensure its maximum shelf life?

A: DPG should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, preferably in tightly closed steel drums or other suitable containers. Under these conditions, it maintains its integrity and quality for up to 24 months from the production date.

Q: What are the common industrial applications of Dipropylene Glycol?

A: Dipropylene Glycol is widely used in industries such as automotive, chemical processing, and manufacturing. Its main uses include antifreeze liquids, lubricants, solvent systems, and as an industrial carrier due to its stability, low odor, and miscibility with water and organic solvents.

Q: When is it appropriate to use DPG instead of other glycols?

A: DPG is preferred when low odor, high miscibility, and thermal stability are required, such as in applications where exposure to varying temperatures or a clear, non-greasy fluid is necessary. Its properties make it suitable for use in sensitive formulations like fragrances and specialty industrial fluids.

Q: Where is DPG typically packaged and supplied from in India?

A: DPG is manufactured, exported, and supplied by industrial chemical companies across India. It is commonly packaged in steel drums, IBCs, or bulk tankers to meet the needs of domestic and international customers requiring variable weight options (typically 215 kg per drum).

Q: What is the process for handling and using DPG safely in an industrial setting?

A: Industrial users should follow good chemical handling practices by using appropriate personal protective equipment and ensuring that storage and transfer are conducted in well-ventilated areas. Since DPG is non-hazardous but viscous, handling equipment should enable easy pouring and transfer to minimize spillage.

Q: How does the use of Dipropylene Glycol benefit industrial applications?

A: DPG enhances product formulations by providing excellent solubility, low odor, thermal stability, and a clear appearance. Its chemical and physical properties ensure consistent performance, making it ideal for producing high-quality products that require a non-reactive and non-greasy base.
