Its CAS is 57-55-6. The clear, colorless, slightly syrupy liquid that readily absorbs water is also used to make polyester compounds, and as a base for deicing solutions. The chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries use propylene glycol as antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. It is also used to create artificial smoke or fog for fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions. Propylene glycol is also recognized as 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propanediol, methyl glycol, and trimethyl glycol. The only industrial process used for manufacturing propylene glycol is by direct hydrolysis of propylene oxide with water.]]> https://thechemco.com/chemical/neopentyl-glycol/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:30:59 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/neopentyl-glycol/ https://thechemco.com/chemical/folic-acid/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:30:32 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/folic-acid/ https://thechemco.com/chemical/cysteamine/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:30:31 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/cysteamine/ https://thechemco.com/chemical/creatine-citrate/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:28:21 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/creatine-citrate/ https://thechemco.com/chemical/calcium-chloride/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:28:20 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/calcium-chloride/ Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine with the chemical formula CaCl₂ and CAS 10043-52-4. At room temperature, it is a colorless crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Calcium chloride is used in industry as a de-icer, in road surfacing to suppress the formation of dust, in water treatment to increase the hardness of water in swimming pools, and as an additive in plastics and fire extinguishers.]]> https://thechemco.com/chemical/azelaic-acid/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:28:19 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/azelaic-acid/ Shipping Contact The Chemical Company for current packaging options, lead times and supply chain updates.]]> https://thechemco.com/chemical/methyl-cellulose/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:05:26 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/methyl-cellulose/ Methyl Cellulose is a non-digestible, non-toxic chemical compound derived from cellulose. In its pure form the hydrophilic white powder dissolves in cold water to form a clear viscous solution or gel. It does not dissolve in hot water. The versatile compound is sold under a variety of trade names and has a wide range of consumer and industrial applications. Its molecular formula is C₂₉H₅₄O₁₆ and its CAS number is 9004-67-5.]]> https://thechemco.com/chemical/benzyl-alcohol/ Wed, 15 Jun 2016 18:12:47 +0000 https://thechemco2022.wpengine.com/chemical/benzyl-alcohol/ Benzyl Alcohol is a colorless, aromatic liquid alcohol with a sharp burning taste and mild pleasant odor. It is useful as a solvent and as a local anesthetic in the medical field. Benzyl alcohol has a variety of uses in the manufacture of other benzyl compounds, as a pharmaceutic aid, in the making of perfume, and for manufacturing flavoring for the food industry.

Phthalate esters that function as plasticizers are derived from phthalic anhydride. Phthalic anhydride has another major use in the production of polyester resins and other minor uses in the production of alkyd resins used in paints and lacquers, certain guys, insect repellents, and urethane polyester polyols. Phthalic anhydride has also been used as a rubber scorch inhibitor and retarder. The second largest outlet for PA is in unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) which are usually blended with glass fibers to produce fiberglass-reinforced plastics. Principal markets are construction, marine and transportation. The third largest outlet is PA-based alkyd resins that are used in solvent-based coatings for architectural, machinery, furniture and fixture applications. Small volume uses for PA include the manufacture of dyes and pigments, detergents, herbicides and insecticides, fire retardants, saccharin and polyester resin cross-linking agents.
