What is Dipropylene Glycol (DPG)?
Dipropylene Glycol — commonly abbreviated as DPG — is a colourless, nearly odourless, water-miscible glycol ether with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O₃ and CAS number 110-98-5. It is produced as a co-product of propylene glycol manufacture through the hydration of propylene oxide, and is one of the most widely used multi-purpose glycols in both personal care and industrial chemistry.
DPG has a low vapour pressure, excellent solvency, and very low toxicity, making it suitable for skin-contact applications such as cosmetics and fragrances as well as demanding industrial uses including resin production, heat-transfer fluids, and chemical intermediates.
Two primary grades are available: Industrial Grade DPG (for manufacturing, solvents, and process applications) and Fragrance Grade DPG (ultra-low colour and odour, designed for perfumery and personal care where sensory purity is critical).

Industrial Grade vs. Fragrance Grade DPG
Both grades are chemically the same compound (C₆H₁₄O₃, CAS 110-98-5). The distinction lies in the level of refinement and the impurity profile — critical when DPG is used in scent-sensitive or skin-contact formulations:
Dipropylene Glycol vs. Propylene Glycol
For formulators in UAE choosing between propylene glycol-family solvents, understanding the physical differences is essential for process and product optimisation:
| Feature | Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) | Propylene Glycol (PG) |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular Weight | 134.17 g/mol | 76.09 g/mol |
| Boiling Point | ~232°C | ~188°C |
| Vapour Pressure | Very low (0.01 hPa @ 20°C) | Low (0.13 hPa @ 20°C) |
| Viscosity | Higher — better film retention | Lower — faster spreading |
| Fragrance Use | Preferred carrier — odourless | Suitable but detectable odour |
| Primary Use | Fragrances, resins, industrial solvents | Pharmaceuticals, food, antifreeze |
What are the Industrial Applications of DPG in UAE?
Dipropylene Glycol is a versatile glycol ether that serves as a critical raw material, solvent, or carrier across many industries in the UAE and GCC region.

Chemical Properties of Dipropylene Glycol
Dipropylene Glycol is a clear, colourless, hygroscopic liquid with a characteristically low vapour pressure and high boiling point. It is fully miscible with water and most common organic solvents including ethanol, acetone, and toluene, which makes it an excellent coupling agent and carrier across a wide range of formulations.
Its low toxicity profile (LD₅₀ oral rat: >5,000 mg/kg) and absence of significant odour in the Fragrance Grade make DPG particularly suitable for personal care, cosmetic, and food-adjacent applications. The compound is stable under normal storage conditions and does not polymerise or decompose at ambient temperatures.
In the UAE climate, DPG should be stored in sealed containers away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Its low volatility means it will not evaporate significantly even in the Gulf's warm ambient conditions, maintaining product integrity over extended storage periods.
Advantages of Dipropylene Glycol
- Near-odourless Fragrance Grade ensures no interference with delicate fragrance compositions
- Very low vapour pressure — stable in UAE's warm climate, minimal evaporation loss
- Fully water-miscible and compatible with a broad range of solvents and actives
- Low acute toxicity — suitable for skin-contact and personal care applications
- High flash point (~121°C) — classified as non-hazardous for transport, simplifying logistics
- Available in 200 L drums, IBC, or bulk for flexible ordering across all scales
Storage and Safe Handling of Dipropylene Glycol
Storage Requirements
DPG should be stored in tightly sealed containers — preferably HDPE drums, stainless steel, or mild steel tanks — in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Although DPG has a high flash point, it should be kept away from strong oxidising agents. In the UAE's high ambient temperatures, elevated storage conditions may cause minor colour development in Industrial Grade; Fragrance Grade containers should be resealed promptly after use to preserve low-odour characteristics.
Safe Handling
DPG is classified as non-hazardous for transport and has a low acute toxicity. However, standard industrial hygiene practices apply: avoid prolonged skin contact, wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles when handling bulk quantities, and ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces. The material is not classified as a skin sensitiser at normal industrial exposure levels.
