Monopropylene Glycol (MPG)
Monopropylene Glycol is a derivative of propylene oxide (PO), produced in two step process. The first step is the reaction of PO with water in to a mixture of MPG and DPG (Dipropylene Glycol). The second step is the distillation and purification of the mixture in to its two separate components.
The major end use for MPG is as a raw material in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins. MPG is used as an active ingredient in antifreeze and as an anti-icing agent for car windshields, boats and airplane wings. MPG has a very low freezing point, and acts as a thickening agent, which helps the fluid adhere to surfaces. MPG is used as a solvent in paints, coatings, enamels and varnishes. MPG improves the properties of paints because its slow evaporation time lengthens the time the paint remains suitable for application
