Product name: Polypropylene glycol 2000

CAS: 25322-69-4

Description: Polypropylene glycol or polypropylene oxide is the polymer of propylene glycol. Chemically it is a polyether. The term polypropylene glycol or PPG is reserved for low to medium range molar mass polymer when the nature of the end-group, which is usually a hydroxyl group, still matters. The term "oxide" is used for high molar mass polymer when end-groups no longer affect polymer properties. In 2003, 60% of the annual production of propylene oxide of 6.6×106 tonnes was converted into the polymer.

PPG is used in many formulations for polyurethanes. It is used as a rheology modifier.

PPG is used as a surfactant, wetting agent, dispersant in leather finishing.

PPG is also employed as a tuning reference in mass spectrometry.

PPG is used as a primary ingredient in the manufacture of paintballs.

PPG Is sold in powdered form as a laxative in many OTC products (MiraLax, PureLax)

PPG is used to administer the drug Melarsoprol in patients suffering from second stage trypanosomiasis since the drug is insoluble in water. This mixture must be injected intravenously.
