Polypropylene Glycol (PPG) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- PPG
- Poly Propylene Glycol
- Polypropylene Oxide
- Poly(propylene Oxide)
Polypropylene glycol supplier for polyurethane, coatings, adhesive, fluid and surfactant manufacturers in Malaysia. Also called PPG, poly propylene glycol, polypropylene oxide or polyoxypropylene glycol, this material is a polyether polyol made by polymerising propylene oxide, not propylene glycol USP and not polypropylene resin.
Commercial selection is almost entirely by molecular weight and functionality. Common diol grades include PPG 400, PPG 1000 and PPG 2000, with higher molecular weight and triol polyols used where the system recipe demands them. Hydroxyl number and viscosity are the usual control figures and should be taken from the required grade documentation.
Typical uses include flexible and rigid polyurethane foam, polyurethane elastomers, coatings, adhesives and sealants, functional fluids and lubricant base stocks, antifoam packages, metalworking fluids, and surfactant or demulsifier intermediates. It remains distinct from dipropylene glycol and from polyethylene glycol.
Send the required PPG grade or molecular weight, diol or triol functionality, hydroxyl number or viscosity target if known, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Polypropylene Glycol grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPG 400 | low molecular weight diol polyol, clear viscous liquid | — | Intermediate polyol for coatings, adhesives, functional fluids and selected polyurethane systems where a lower molecular weight diol is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| PPG 1000 | mid-range molecular weight diol polyol, clear viscous liquid | — | Flexible polyurethane foam, elastomers, coatings and adhesive systems that call for a mid-range polypropylene glycol diol. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| PPG 2000 | higher molecular weight diol polyol, clear viscous liquid | — | Flexible foam, elastomer, lubricant base stock and antifoam or surfactant intermediates where a higher molecular weight PPG diol is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Higher MW and triol PPG polyols | higher molecular weight diol or triol polyol liquid | — | Rigid or flexible polyurethane systems, sealants and specialty polyol formulations where functionality and hydroxyl number are specified by the buyer rather than a single grade shorthand. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about polypropylene glycol
Is polypropylene glycol the same as propylene glycol?
No. Polypropylene glycol is a polymer made from propylene oxide and is selected by molecular weight and hydroxyl number. Propylene glycol is a separate low molecular weight diol with different uses, grades and buying specifications.
What does PPG 400 or PPG 2000 mean?
Those shorthands refer to common nominal molecular weight grades of polypropylene glycol. PPG 400 is a lower molecular weight diol, while PPG 2000 is a higher molecular weight diol. State the exact grade, hydroxyl number and viscosity target when they matter to the formulation.
How do I choose between diol and triol polypropylene glycol?
Diol grades are difunctional polyols used widely in flexible foam, elastomers, coatings and fluids. Triol grades add a third hydroxyl group and are chosen when the polyurethane or polyol system needs higher functionality. Match the grade to the system recipe rather than treating all PPG as interchangeable.
Which specifications should I include in a PPG enquiry?
Provide nominal molecular weight or grade shorthand, diol or triol functionality, hydroxyl number, viscosity and water content limits if known, plus application, quantity and delivery location. Attach a current specification when replacing an existing grade.
Is polypropylene glycol the same as polyethylene glycol or polypropylene?
No. Polyethylene glycol is the ethylene oxide analogue and is a different product family. Polypropylene resin is a thermoplastic polymer, not a liquid polyol. Keep those enquiries on their own product pages and specifications.
What details are needed for a polypropylene glycol price quote?
List the grade or molecular weight, functionality, target specification, quantity, preferred packing if any, documentation needs and delivery location. Commercial terms, availability and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
