Tripropylene glycol

Tripropylene glycol is a water-white liquid. Soluble in water, methanol, ether. Combustible. One of its unique features is its combination of water-solubility and good solubility for many organic compounds. Because of high boiling point and low volatility it is used in the formulation of textile soaps, lubricants, cutting oils, and similar applications.

Tripropylene glycol is used for textile soaps, lubricants, cutting oils and greases. It acts as an intermediate in the preparation of urethanes. It is also used as a solvent in coatings and inks. It is utilized as varnish removers, emulsifiers and hydraulic fluids. As an additive, it is used for carburetor fuels. It is involved as a cooling media as well as an active ingredient of plasticizers.
Intermediate in resins, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, dyestuffs, mold lubricants.
