About Dipropylene Glycol:
Dipropylene glycol is known as a mixture of three isomeric chemical compounds, namely 2-propan-1-ol, 4-oxa-2,6-heptandiol, and 2--propan-1-ol. In appearance, it is a colourless liquid that is odourless as well. It is miscible with water and soluble in ethanol. It comes in two grades, that is, fragrance grade and industrial grade. It is a common ingredient in commercial fog fluid and is also used as a solvent for a lot of applications owing to its properties.

Production Processes:
- Production of Dipropylene Glycol from Propylene Oxide
Dipropylene Glycol is produced in a two-step process. The first step involves the reaction of propylene oxide with water to obtain a mixture of monopropylene glycol (MPG) and Dipropylene Glycol (DPG). In the second step, the obtained mixture undergoes distillation and purification to separate the two components and finally obtain Dipropylene Glycol.
