Application Guidance

50% Propylene Glycol Inhibited (Inhibited) is a polar solvent. Grade selection (technical, ACS, electronics, USP) determines acceptable residue and impurity levels for the intended end-use.

  • Cleaning and degreasing (technical-grade)
  • Coatings, inks, and adhesives formulation
  • Reaction solvent for chemical synthesis
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing (USP-grade)
  • Electronics-grade cleaning and rinse applications

Flammable. Bond and ground equipment during transfer. Verify grade matches end-use specification before substitution.

Storage & Handling

Recommended Storage
Cool, well-ventilated flammable-liquid storage area. Tightly sealed original containers. Segregate from oxidizers and acids. Bond and ground bulk storage.
Handling Precautions
Use chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles. Bond and ground during transfer to prevent static accumulation. Eliminate ignition sources within vapor envelope.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizers, strong acids, isocyanates, anhydrides. Hygroscopic — protect from atmospheric moisture for water-sensitive end uses.
Shelf Life
24 months from date of manufacture in sealed, original packaging
