Polypropylene Glycol 1000 (PPG-1000) is a colorless, transparent, low-viscosity polymer with high purity and good water solubility. As a versatile chemical raw material, it features non-toxicity, stable performance, and excellent compatibility with various substances.
Widely used across industries, it acts as a moisturizer and emulsifier in cosmetics, a safe excipient in pharmaceuticals, a lubricant additive in industrial oils, and a key monomer in polyurethane synthesis. It also enhances stability in coatings, adhesives, and detergents.
Available in industrial, food, and pharmaceutical grades, it supports bulk supply and customizable packaging, meeting diverse needs of manufacturers and traders globally.
Product Advantage
1. Ultra-High Purity with Strict Quality Control
Our PPG-1000 achieves a purity level of 99.8%+, verified by third-party lab testing (test report available upon request). We adopt advanced molecular distillation technology to remove impurities, ensuring the product’s hydroxyl value (56-63 mg KOH/g) and acid value (≤0.1 mg KOH/g) stay within strict industry standards. This high purity minimizes side reactions in downstream applications like polyurethane synthesis, reducing production waste by up to 15% for our clients.
2. Multi-Grade Adaptability for Diverse Industries
We offer three specialized grades—industrial, food, and pharmaceutical—to match different industry requirements. The pharmaceutical-grade PPG-1000 complies with USP/NF standards, while the food-grade variant meets FDA regulations (21 CFR 172.820). This versatility allows it to serve as an emulsifier in cosmetics, an excipient in oral medications, and a lubricant additive in industrial oils, covering over 20 downstream application scenarios.
3. Excellent Stability & Consistent Performance
With a low viscosity (300-400 cSt at 25℃) and high thermal stability (decomposition temperature ≥200℃), our PPG-1000 maintains stable properties even in extreme processing conditions. Long-term storage tests (12 months at 25℃, 60% RH) show no turbidity or sedimentation, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch quality. This stability helps clients reduce production downtime caused by raw material fluctuations.
4. Large-Scale Production & Reliable Supply Capacity
Our factory has an annual production capacity of 50,000 metric tons for PPG series products, including PPG-1000. Equipped with 4 automated production lines, we can fulfill bulk orders (minimum order quantity: 1 ton) within 72 hours of confirmation. We also maintain a 3,000-ton inventory to handle urgent orders, ensuring on-time delivery rates of over 98% for global clients.
5. Customizable Solutions & Professional Support
Beyond standard specifications, we provide customized PPG-1000 with adjustable viscosity (250-450 cSt) and packaging (20L drums, 200L barrels, or 1000L IBC tanks) based on client needs. Our technical team (with 10+ years of chemical industry experience) offers 24/7 after-sales support, including application guidance and troubleshooting, helping clients optimize production processes.

Product Uses
1. Cosmetics & Personal Care
As a safe, non-toxic moisturizer and emulsifier, PPG-1000 is widely used in lotions, creams, and body washes. It enhances skin hydration by locking in moisture, improves product texture (reducing greasiness), and boosts compatibility between oil and water components, ensuring stable formulations for daily skincare products.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical-grade PPG-1000 serves as an excipient in oral medications (e.g., syrups, tablets) and a solubilizer in topical creams. It complies with USP/NF standards, ensuring no irritation to human tissues. It also aids in drug absorption and extends the shelf life of formulations by preventing ingredient separation.
3. Industrial Lubricants
As a lubricant additive, PPG-1000 reduces friction in mechanical parts (e.g., gears, bearings) due to its low viscosity (300-400 cSt at 25℃). It improves lubricant stability at high temperatures (resisting decomposition up to 200℃) and is compatible with mineral oils, making it ideal for industrial machinery and automotive lubrication systems.
4. Polyurethane Synthesis
PPG-1000 acts as a key monomer in polyurethane (PU) production, used to manufacture flexible foams (e.g., mattress foam, sofa cushions) and elastomers. Its controlled hydroxyl value (56-63 mg KOH/g) ensures consistent PU hardness and elasticity, meeting the durability requirements of furniture and automotive interior industries.
5. Coatings & Adhesives
In coatings and adhesives, PPG-1000 enhances film flexibility and adhesion. It reduces coating brittleness (preventing cracking on rigid surfaces) and improves adhesive bonding strength to materials like metal and plastic. It is also compatible with acrylic and epoxy resins, suitable for industrial coatings and packaging adhesives.
Product Operate Guide
Pre-Use Prep: Store PPG-1000 in a cool (15-25℃), dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the container tightly after opening to avoid moisture absorption.
Dosing: Add the required amount (based on your formulation, e.g., 2-5% for cosmetics, 10-15% for PU synthesis) directly to the mixing system.
Mixing: Stir at 500-800 RPM for 5-10 minutes until fully dissolved (no sediment). Avoid overheating above 80℃ to prevent property changes.
Post-Use: Clean equipment with ethanol or warm water promptly. Dispose of leftover material per local chemical waste regulations.
Note: For pharmaceutical/food applications, follow USP/FDA guidelines and test small batches first.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between industrial-grade and pharmaceutical-grade PPG-1000?
A: Pharmaceutical-grade meets USP/NF standards (lower impurities, non-toxic), suitable for meds/excipients. Industrial-grade has broader specs, ideal for lubricants/coatings—purity and compliance levels are the key distinctions.
Q: How long can PPG-1000 be stored, and does it expire?
A: Unopened, it has a 24-month shelf life (stored at 15-25℃, dry). Once opened, use within 6 months and seal tightly—moisture absorption may affect viscosity over time.
Q: Is PPG-1000 safe to handle, and are there any safety precautions?
A: It's non-toxic, but avoid direct eye/skin contact. Wear gloves/goggles during use. If spilled, wipe with a dry cloth; rinse with water if it touches skin.
Q: Can I adjust the viscosity of PPG-1000 for my specific application?
A: Yes—we offer customizable viscosity (250-450 cSt) for bulk orders. Share your formulation needs, and our tech team will tailor it to match your process.
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk orders, and how long does sample delivery take?
A: We offer 500ml-1L free samples. Samples ship within 3 business days via DHL/FedEx, with delivery taking 5-7 days to most global locations.
