Description :

Overview of Propylene Carbonate

Propylene Carbonate (C4H6O3) is a transparent and colorless liquid used as a solvent in pharmaceuticals, lithium-ion batteries, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning. It's a sought-after ingredient due to its low polarity, high toxicity, and biodegradability, so it is suitable for use in environmental and industrial processes.

The chemical formula for Propylene Carbonate is C4H6O3. Its structure is comprised of the cyclic carbonate ester that is made from propylene glycol, offering excellent electrochemical solvency and stability. Propylene Carbonate is employed as an electrolyte solvent, a reaction medium, and a cleaning agent in a variety of industrial formulations. It is a good addition to Polysantol as well as Polyvinyl Alcohol for specialised polymer and coatings.
