Product Details: MPDIOL

MPDIOL glycol is a colorless, low viscosity liquid with a unique molecular structure: a low Molecular weight-branched aliphatic diol with two primary hydroxyls. MPDIOL glycol is water soluble at room temperature and it also has low volatility and a high flashpoint. As an isomer of 1,3-butyleneglycol, MPDIOL glycol offers similar performance characteristics. MPDIOL glycol is an excellent solvent and humectant. In many formulations, MPDIOL glycol is a direct replacement for propylene glycol or 1,3-butyleneglycol. MPDIOL glycol can be used as a neutralizer, emollient, emulsifier and humectant, as well as a fragrance enhancer and carrier solvent.

 It is a solvent for various Industries and has many uses such as Anti-freezer, Monomer for the preparation of Copolymer, Agricultural chemicals, Coating, Binder, Cleaner solvent. Methylpropanediol (MPO) is an excellent alternative to usual glycol such as 1.3-butylene glycol, 1.2-propylene glycol, 1.2-pentylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, sorbitol or glycerin.

Application

• skincare, makeup, hair care, antiperspirant, toiletries, Fragrances
• Used to improve the skin feel.
• The use of can reduce significantly the amount of usual preservatives needed in the formulation.
• In cosmetics, Methylpropanediol (MPO) acts as a multipurpose ingredient (emollient, humectant, booster, solvent)
• Methylpropanediol (MPO) allows improving the feeling and the hydration of cosmetic cream in association with glycerine,
• With its excellent toxicological profile and not listed as a preservative regarding the European Cosmetic Regulation, Methylpropanediol MPO can be used without restrictions.

MPDiol glycol is a pumpable liquid at 100% solids, providing the resin manufacturer with an easy to handle intermediate for the production of polyester resins.

MPDiol glycol-based resins tend to be less viscous, which aids in reducing the amount of solvent required in end use applications the resulting products are quite versatile and can be used as intermediates in solventborne and waterborne polyurethane resin synthesis, high solids polyesters, and powder polyester resins.
