What is Tripropylene glycol?
Chemical properties
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.
The Uses of Tripropylene glycol
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.
The Uses of Tripropylene glycol
Intermediate in resins, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, dyestuffs, mold lubricants.
Reactivity Profile
Tripropylene glycol is a ether-alcohol derivative. The ether being relatively unreactive. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. May attack some forms of plastics [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
Non-irritating; no symptoms observed by any exposure route.
