  • Applications

    Propylene Glycol Diacetate is used primarily as a solvent for fragrance materials in perfumery and as a fixative to extend fragrance life; in cosmetics and personal care it acts as a solvent and processing aid to dissolve actives and fragrances; in coatings, inks, and adhesives it serves as a solvent and plasticizer to adjust viscosity and film formation; in polymers and plastics it functions as a plasticizer for resins; and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, enabling acetylation steps or related derivative preparations.
