Dipropylene Glycol Regular Grade (DPG) is used as a reactive intermediate in the manufacturing of high-performance unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes and plasticizers. DPG from Dow has great solvency, a low evaporation rate, low toxicity, high viscosity and low odor, making it a chemical intermediate of choice for many applications, including:
High-volume plasticizer
Reactant in unsaturated polyurethane resins, adding flexibility and hydrolytic stability
Initiator in urethane polyols, and as the polyol itself in some rigid polyurethane systems
Reactive diluents in radiation-cured resins and coatings, cutting viscosity and enabling easier application
Other effective uses of DPG are:
Hydraulic brake fluid formulations
Cutting oils
Textile lubricants
Printing inks
Coatings
Industrial soaps
Solvents for agricultural chemicals such as insecticides
