PPG molecular weight determines its different applications

PPG stands for Polypropylene Glycol and the number represents its average molecular weight. The applications of different average molecular weights of polypropylene glycols are different, and the following are some typical applications of different average molecular weights of polypropylene glycols.

Polypropylene Glycol 400: mainly used as plasticizer, lubricant, emulsifier, thinner, etc. for paints and coatings.

Polypropylene Glycol 600: Used as plasticizer, lubricant, emulsifier, thinner, etc. for paints and coatings; also used in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants and polyurethane foams.

Polypropylene Glycol 1000: Used as plasticizer, lubricant, emulsifier, thinner, etc. for paints and coatings; also used in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants, polyurethane foams and plastics.

Polypropylene Glycol 2000: used as plasticizer, lubricant, emulsifier, thinner, etc. in paints and coatings; also used as emulsifier in the manufacture of polyurethane foam, plastics and cosmetics.

Polypropylene Glycol 4000: Used as emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, lubricant, etc. in polyurethane foam, plastics, paints, inks, cosmetics, pharmaceutical preparations, etc.

Polypropylene Glycol 8000: Used as emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, lubricant, etc. for polyurethane foam, plastics, paints, lacquers, inks, cosmetics, pharmaceutical preparations, etc.

It should be noted that the specific application of Polypropylene Glycol may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and application to application.
