Details

Propylene Glycol 99.5% USP/NF/FCC/Food Grade, Kosher, Halal

Propylene glycol , also known as 1,2-propanediol , is a odorless, tasteless, colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature. USP, FCC, and NF monograms are all regulated under the United States Pharmacopeia. The USP and FCC designations signify that the chemical is suitable for pharmaceuticals and food use, whereas the NF contains monograms for excipients.

Propylene Glycol, CAS 57-55-6, is supplied here as a liquid with a minimum assay of 99.5%. The grade is USP/NF/FCC (Food), so it’s suitable for pharmaceutical and food use. At room temperature it’s a colorless, odorless, tasteless, viscous liquid. The page shows Kosher and Halal certification, a GMO Free badge, and a GRAS reference citation of 21CFR 184.1666. You’ll find the paperwork right on the product page. That includes the Safety Data Sheet, the Technical Data Sheet, Certificates of Analysis by lot, and the Kosher and Halal certification files. Supporting statements are listed too, such as Allergen, Food Grade, GRAS, GMO Free and Elemental Impurities.

Propylene glycol shows up in polymer production, antifreeze, cosmetics, food additive use, flavor and pharmaceutical carrier solvents, emulsifying, emollient roles, and artificial smoke or fog. So where do buyers get stuck? Usually it’s missing paperwork, or a supplier who can’t offer the size you need. The SDS, TDS and COAs are online on this page, and sizes run from 500ml up to 275Gal, with cases and pallets too. The Safety and Shipping tab says “Not DOT regulated.” Here’s the simple plan. Choose a size, or set up Autoship for repeat orders. We keep it on budget, on time, every time. Need larger volumes? Request a quote .
