Propylene glycol is a colorless organic liquid. The chemical name is "Propane-1,2" with the formula C3H802. The CAS registration number is 57-55-6. Typical names are propylene glycol (PG) and monopropylene glycol (MPG). Propylene glycol can be made in various grades. The most controlled grade is called propylene glycol-USP / EP and is manufactured and distributed according to the highest industry standards. The normal class PG is called the industrial type. Both grades may be marketed under different brand names.
The propylene glycol or propylene glycol used in the electronic cigarette is a colorless and sweet liquid, with a thick and sticky texture. Propylene glycol is used in the production of food and cosmetics, is safe for humans and is environmentally friendly.
It is the substance that helps to dissolve the aromatic substances contained in the electronic cigarette and with the help of heat provides the vapor that resembles cigarette smoke.
Propylene glycol is used in a wide variety of every day convenience and care, such as in cosmetics and toiletries, food, feed, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in various industrial applications.
Most consumers will come into contact with propylene glycol during their normal daily lives, when consuming personal care items such as creams, sprays, lotions, while enjoying soft drinks, sweets and other foods, or when taking any medicine or vaccinated against severe disease.
Propylene glycol is used professionally by manufacturers of consumer and industrial products, but is not available to consumers as a pure substance. Under normal circumstances, therefore, it is impossible to consume propylene glycol in large quantities, and consumer exposure to propylene glycol through the products is extremely low. In addition, studies have shown that propylene glycol has a very low degree of toxicity.
In fact, from a toxicological point of view, alcohol is more toxic than propylene glycol. European legislation limits the presence of propylene glycol as a food additive to 1-3 g / kg in the final food (0,1-0,3%). A fully acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0-25 mg / kg body weight has been assigned to propylene glycol by the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Food.
Propylene glycol has been used safely for over 50 years in a wide variety of applications. Studies have shown that propylene glycol has a very low degree of toxicity. No adverse health effects from exposure to small amounts of propylene glycol have ever been observed. Authorities have approved the use of propylene glycol in sensitive applications such as pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics, and therefore confirm its safety.
