Propylene Glycol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Mono Propylene Glycol
- Monopropylene Glycol
- MPG
- 1,2-Propanediol
Propylene glycol supplier in Malaysia for resin, coatings, plastics, coolant and industrial formulation buyers. Also called mono propylene glycol, monopropylene glycol, MPG or 1,2-propanediol, it is a clear, hygroscopic liquid used as a solvent, humectant, process fluid and chemical raw material.
This page covers industrial and technical propylene glycol, including low-water material for processes with tighter moisture control. Assay, water, colour, acidity and residue are practical buying limits, and they should be stated when a general grade name does not fully describe the requirement.
Industrial MPG is used in polyester resin and plasticiser production, water-based coatings and inks, cleaning formulations, and as the base glycol in selected coolant or heat-transfer systems. USP, food and pharmaceutical grades use the same chemical identity but require different quality controls and are covered on the separate propylene glycol USP page.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Known commercial sizes include 10 kg, 200 kg, 210 kg and 215 kg, while current availability, container format, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Propylene 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial grade propylene glycol | clear, colourless, slightly viscous liquid | — | Raw material, solvent and humectant in resin, coating, plasticiser, cleaner and general industrial formulations that do not require a food or pharmacopeial grade. | Known commercial sizes include 10 kg, 200 kg, 210 kg and 215 kg. Current format and availability are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical grade propylene glycol | clear, colourless, slightly viscous liquid | — | Process-fluid and formulation duty controlled by the buyer's limits for assay, water, colour, acidity and residue rather than a compendial monograph. | Confirm the required commercial pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-water industrial propylene glycol | clear, colourless liquid with tighter moisture control | — | Moisture-sensitive resin, coating and controlled manufacturing systems that require a lower water limit while remaining an industrial grade. | Confirm the required pack size and documentation with the quotation. |

Propylene Glycol applications
Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Propylene glycol absorbs moisture, so minimise exposure during transfer and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade.
Common questions about propylene glycol
Are propylene glycol, mono propylene glycol and MPG the same product?
Yes. Mono propylene glycol, monopropylene glycol, MPG and 1,2-propanediol are common names for propylene glycol at CAS 57-55-6. State the required grade because the same chemical identity is supplied to different quality specifications.
What is the difference between industrial propylene glycol and propylene glycol USP?
The chemical identity is the same, but the grade controls and documentation differ. This page covers industrial and technical MPG for manufacturing and process use. USP, food and pharmaceutical requirements belong on the separate propylene glycol USP page and should be named explicitly.
Which industrial propylene glycol grade should I request?
Standard industrial grade covers routine resin, coating, cleaner and process-fluid formulations. Technical or low-water material is selected when the process sets tighter assay, colour, acidity, water or residue limits. Send those limits with the enquiry.
Can propylene glycol be used in heat-transfer fluids?
Propylene glycol is used as a base fluid in selected coolant, antifreeze and heat-transfer formulations. A finished inhibited fluid is a formulated product, so state whether the requirement is neat industrial MPG or a premixed fluid with a defined inhibitor and concentration.
What pack sizes are available for industrial propylene glycol?
Known commercial sizes include 10 kg, 200 kg, 210 kg and 215 kg. The current container format, fill size, availability and documentation are confirmed for the required grade and quantity with the quotation.
What details are needed for a propylene glycol price enquiry?
Provide the grade, assay and water requirements, application, shipment quantity, delivery location and required documents. Mention the preferred pack size and timing so the quotation addresses the complete requirement.
