PG is available (though often only by special order from any full-service Pharmacist. The cost varies from $5 to $8 per pint. Pharmacologically, it's used as a solvent for oral and injectable drugs.... It also has many uses as a chemical solvent, as well as being used in many cosmetics. PG is also available from many feed-stores, as it is used as a feed additive and a medical treatment for livestock.

What is propylene glycol?

Frequently Asked Questions | PureWorks
Propylene glycol is an emollient used in many types of medical care products, including those applied to the skin or taken internally. Propylene glycol is found in medical products such as cough syrups and skin care products. It is safe and imparts unique attributes when formulated into such products.

Why is Propylene Glycol used in cosmetics and is it safe?

The Purist Company FAQs
Propylene glycol is an ingredient used in numerous cosmetics and toiletries. It is also used as a powerful solvent to prevent creams from drying out. Propylene glycol is a petrochemical derivative and has been shown to cause allergies.

Can I use propylene glycol (RV antifreeze) in my engine?

Indmar Marine Engines
Raw Water Cooled Engines - Propylene glycol RV antifreeze with a rust inhibitor is approved for use in the raw water cooling system for cold weather storage purposes ONLY. Fresh Water Cooled (closed cooled) Engines ? If your engine is equipped with a closed cooling system, you should always use an appropriate mixture of Sierra Brand propylene glycol antifreeze and water in this system. Make sure to check the mixing ratio on the anti-freeze container.

What are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol?

from cosmetics and household detergents to paints and automotive brake fluids." http://www.dow.com/propyleneglycol/index.htm Incomplete evaluations do not mean that a chemical is free from "human carcinogenic potential." -- barb

Why is propylene glycol used in your deodorants?

frequently asked questions
Propylene glycol enables our deodorants to be applied smoothly in a stick form and helps to stabilize the base of anti-microbial plant ingredients. We have researched glycerin as a substitute, and found that the glycerin acts as a moisture binder that encourages bacterial growth, which causes odor. Earth Science prides itself on making gentle products that are suitable for a wide range of skin types and sensitivities. Many of our loyal customers consider themselves chemically sensitive.

What is the difference between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol?

Antifreeze Recycling FAQ
Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are chemically similar. Ethylene glycol has the chemical formula C2H6O2. Propylene has the chemical formula C3H8O2. Ethylene glycol has a slightly higher boiling point than propylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is less expensive to produce and is more widely used. Propylene glycol is less toxic. Both propylene glycol and ethylene glycol have similar biodegradability and will eventually break down into nontoxic byproducts.

What suppliers do you recommend for ethylene glycol or propylene glycol?

Frequently Asked Questions
Tell your supplier to include corrosion inhibitors to protect copper and iron. Also, make sure they add a colorant to the glycol so that any leakage/spillage can be detected.

What is the difference between propylene glycol and ethylene glycol?

Frequently Asked Questions | PureWorks
Propylene glycol is much different than ethylene glycol. The term "glycol" actually refers to organic chemical structures that contain twin hydroxyl groups on neighboring carbon atoms. This common functional group is present in many different kinds of molecules. For example, all food carbohydrates contain glycol groups. Ethylene glycol is a toxic glycol used extensively in aqueous cooling systems (such as automotive "antifreeze" to prevent freezing in cold weather).

Can I use glycol (anti-freeze) in a Flexcon tank?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend not using over a 50/50 mix. Under no circumstances can the product contain a petroleum base.

What results would I expect if I used the test strip in an Ethylene Propylene Glycol mixture?

Acustrip FAQ
The results will be less than 1 color block conservative. Ethylene Glycol provides slightly higher freeze protection at like concentrations, and therefore contributes to a lower freeze point protection. Differences of less than 1 color block will result.

Can I add propylene glycol based antifreeze to my existing ethylene glycol based antifreeze?

Antifreeze Recycling FAQ
Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are chemically very similar and can be mixed without harming the cooling system. Ethylene glycol does have better heat transfer properties than propylene glycol. Adding propylene glycol does not make the ethylene glycol less toxic. No, it is never OK to neglect cooling system maintenance. Scale buildup and corrosion in radiators, for example, can cause overheating problems or radiator failure.

What approvals does Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM and propylene glycol have?

Engine Ice :: Cyclelogic
Propylene Glycol, the base fluid of Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM, meets or exceeds all ASTM, SAE, Government and Manufacturers standards. It also has NO statutes or health warnings from the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), CERCLA (Superfund), Superfund Amendments & Reauthorization Act (SARA), Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), Federal Health & Safety Administration (FHSA).

In my Ethylene/propylene cracker where can I use soft-seated valves?

Industry Solutions
You can use Metso Automation valves on the feed side of the furnace and downstream of the quench pot. The valves in the complex fuel system requiring FM approval are most often Jamesbury brand.

What type of glycol should I use in my snow melt system?

Danny Heineman & Sons, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions Abo...
inhibited Propylene Glycol solution should be used. Make sure the glycol used is rated for hydronic radiant heating systems and not for automotive engines. Hydronic glycols are formulated differently for the metals seen in boilers, pumps and other system components.

Is it safe to use even though it contains alcohol?

NaturalEco Organics Birth-Heal FAQ's
The alcohol is present in the remedy in order to keep it fresh for many years. The amount of alcohol in one dose is extremely small (less than 0.05% when diluted as directed) and should therefore pose no problem. However, if you are still concerned, follow the directions of our Flower and Gem Essences used in pregnancy and dilute the drops in water which has just boiled, allow to cool and then drink. This will allow all the alcohol to evaporate off the essence without reducing its effectiveness.

Who can use ABREVA®? Is it safe?
