دی‌پروپیلن گلایکول

Dipropylene Glycol is a colorless, hygroscopic, and viscous liquid with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄O₃. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and laboratory applications as a solvent, humectant, and stabilizer.

🏭⚗️ Production
Dipropylene glycol is produced by the hydration of propylene oxide, followed by purification and distillation to remove impurities. The resulting liquid is of high purity and suitable for pharmaceutical formulations and laboratory use.

🔬 Properties
Dipropylene glycol is a clear, odorless to slightly sweet-smelling liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohol, and many organic solvents. It is chemically stable, non-volatile, and acts as a humectant, solvent, and carrier for active ingredients in formulations.

🧪 Applications
In pharmaceutical formulations, dipropylene glycol is used as a solvent in oral, topical, and injectable preparations, and as a humectant in creams, lotions, and ointments. In laboratory settings, it serves as a solvent, stabilizer, and carrier in chemical reactions and analytical procedures. It is also employed in cosmetic and fragrance formulations to improve solubility and stability of active compounds.

⚠️ Safety
Dipropylene glycol is generally recognized as safe for pharmaceutical and laboratory use. It is non-toxic and non-irritant under standard handling conditions. The substance should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers to prevent contamination and maintain quality.
