Technical Information

Propylene Glycol, Technical Grade

General Propylene Glycol, Technical Grade (PG-TG), is a high purity co-product from manufacturing
Description of PO via the Hydrogen-Peroxide process. PG-TG is a distilled product with a purity
specification of greater than 99.5%. PG-TG is available from The Sadara Chemical
Company in bulk quantities.

PG-TG is a colorless, water soluble, hygroscopic liquid with a characteristic glycol odor,
medium viscosity, low vapor pressure and low toxicity. Dow’s Propylene Glycol, Technical
Grade, is for application in selected industrial uses only.

Applications Propylene Glycol Technical Grade is intended for use as a raw material in the production
of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins. It may also be employed as a mining
chemical, cement grinding additive, initiator in the synthesis of polyether polyols and other
industrial applications.

Propylene Glycol Technical Grade is recommended for selected industrial applications

only.

For applications in the pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetic and food industries, only
the use of Dow’s Propylene Glycol USP/EP (PG USP/EP) is supported.

Storage and Propylene Glycol, Technical Grade, is stable for at least one year when stored at ambient
Handling temperatures in closed containers and away from sunlight and other sources of UV light.

Where product heating is utilized (i.e. for bulk storage and/or transport containers) the
product temperature should be controlled to prevent unintentional overheating over
extended periods as this may potentially lead to accelerated oxidative degradation of the
product. As a general guide Sadara recommends heating up to not more than 40°C.

For more details about product handling and safety information, please refer to the Dow
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
