Description

What it is. Organic compound (diol or alcohol) of formula C3H8O2, obtained as a viscous, slightly sweet-tasting, hygroscopic liquid, miscible with water, acetone and chloroform. The product may contain up to 0.3% dipropylene glycol.

What it is for. This type of ingredient is generally used as a humectant, solvent or carrier for other feed additives, helping to improve the homogeneity and physical stability of mixtures. It would typically be employed in compound feed for various species, in liquid or premix formulations. Its hygroscopic and solvent properties make it useful wherever a liquid vehicle is needed for sensitive or poorly soluble substances.

Points to watch. Maximum dipropylene glycol content is set at 0.3%. Being hygroscopic, the product requires storage protected from moisture, in sealed containers, and compatibility with other mix components should be checked before use.
