Dipropylene Glycol Regular Grade (DPG) is used as a reactive intermediate in the manufacturing of high-performance unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes and plasticizers. DPG from Dow has great solvency, a low evaporation rate, low toxicity, high viscosity and low odor, making it a chemical intermediate of choice for many applications, including:
Reactant in unsaturated polyurethane resins, adding flexibility and hydrolytic stabilityInitiator in urethane polyols, and as the polyol itself in some rigid polyurethane systemsReactive diluents in radiation-cured resins and coatings, cutting viscosity and enabling easier application
