Propylene glycol is generally considered to be a safe chemical, and is not routinely tested for, unless specific exposure, such as to a medicine or cosmetic, can be linked with the observed bad symptoms. Since propylene glycol breaks down very quickly in the body, it is very difficult to detect.

IntroductionPropylene glycol (IUPAC name propane-1,2-diol) is a viscous, colorless liquid, which is nearly odorless but possesses a faintly sweet taste. Its chemical formula is CH3CH(OH)CH2OH. Containing two alcohol groups, it is classed as a diol. It is miscible with a broad range of solvents, including water, acetone, and chloroform.
Method of ManufacturingIndustrially propylene glycol is mainly produced from propylene oxide. Manufacturers use either non-catalytic high-temperature process at 200 °C (392 °F) to 220 °C (428 °F) or a catalytic method which proceeds at 150 °C (302 °F) to 180 °C (356 °F) in the presence of ion exchange resin or a small amount of sulfuric acid or alkali. Propylene glycol can also be obtained from glycerol a byproduct from the production of biodiesel.
Allergic reactionThe incidence of allergic contact dermatitis to propylene glycol may be greater than 2% in patients with eczema or fungal infections, which are very common in countries with lesser sun exposure and lower-than-normal vitamin D balances. Therefore propylene glycol allergy is more common in those countries.
First Aid- Immediately flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing
- Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water
- If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, immediately call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment
- Immediately leave the contaminated area
- Take deep breaths of fresh air
- If symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath or burning in the mouth, throat, chest develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.
