ZÜMRÜT International Kimya Co. stands as a leading global distributor and supplier of Monopropylene Glycol (MPG), providing high-purity, versatile chemical solutions to a wide array of industries. Also known as 1,2-propanediol, MPG is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic liquid critical for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. This guide explores MPG’s properties, various grades, and the distinct advantages of partnering with ZÜMRÜT as your trusted Monopropylene Glycol provider.

What is Monopropylene Glycol (MPG)?

Monopropylene Glycol is a synthetic organic compound, a diol alcohol derived from the catalytic hydration of propylene oxide. Renowned for its excellent hygroscopic (water-attracting) and solvent properties, MPG is safe for sensitive applications. It has earned GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status from the FDA and approval from EFSA. As a premier MPG manufacturer and bulk supplier, ZÜMRÜT ensures consistent, high-purity MPG for diverse needs, from food additives to industrial chemical processes. (CONTACT US)

Key Properties of Monopropylene Glycol
