FAQ

FAQ: Bio-propylene glycol

What is bio-based propylene glycol made from?

From renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils or glycerine. Bio-MPG is chemically identical to conventional 1,2-⁠propylene glycol and replaces it without reformulation.

Is bio-MPG suitable for food and pharma?

Propylene glycol is approved as food additive E1520. USP/EP grade is available on request – please tell us your application and the required monograph.

Is bio-MPG suitable for coolants and heat transfer fluids?

Yes. Propylene glycol is a standard raw material for antifreeze and heat transfer fluids. The bio-based version performs identically and lowers the fossil feedstock share of your product.

In which packaging do you supply bio-MPG?

In tank containers (20,000–⁠24,000 kg), IBCs (1,000 kg) and drums (200 kg) – from Hamburg throughout Europe, with TDS, safety data sheet and CoA.
