Industry Wise Application
Food & Beverage Industry
- Moisture Retention (Humectant):Maintains moisture in baked goods, shredded coconut, confections, and pet food to prevent drying out.
- Flavor Solvent/Carrier:Dissolves and distributes flavorings (like vanilla extract) and colorants evenly throughout food products.
- Anti-caking Agent:Prevents ingredients in powdered mixes, such as dry soups or grated cheese, from sticking together.
- Stabilizer and Emulsifier:Prevents separation of oil and water in sauces, dressings, and dips.
- Frozen Dessert Quality:Inhibits ice crystal formation in ice cream and dairy products to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
- Brewery/Winery Usage:Acts as a coolant in jacketed fermentation tanks and stabilizes beer foam
Pharmaceutical & Personal Care
- Drug Solvent & Carrier:Acts as a carrier for active ingredients in oral, topical (creams/ointments), and injectable medications, improving absorption.
- Humectant in Cosmetics:Draws moisture to the skin in lotions, moisturizers, and serums.
- Ingredient in Personal Hygiene:Used in toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoos, and shaving creams for texture and moisture retention.
- Deodorant Alternative:Used in stick deodorants to absorb moisture without leaving residue.
- Skin Penetration Enhancer:Used in transdermal patches and topical medications to enhance the delivery of active ingredients through the skin barrier
Industrial & Technical Application
- Non-Toxic Antifreeze & Coolant:Used as an eco-friendly, low-toxicity alternative to ethylene glycol in RV/marine antifreeze, automotive coolants, and HVAC systems.
- Aircraft De-icing:Sprayed on aircraft wings to prevent ice accumulation (anti-icing) and remove existing ice (de-icing).
- Heat Transfer Fluid:Used in industrial cooling systems, solar thermal panels, and food processing refrigeration.
- Polymer Production:Serves as a building block for manufacturing unsaturated polyester resins used in plastics, marine paints, and automotive parts.
- Paint & Coating Additive:Controls viscosity, acts as a solvent, and improves flow/leveling in water-based paints.
- Theatrical Fog/Smoke:Aerosolized in fog machines for theatrical productions, concerts, and firefighter training, as it is non-toxic when inhaled in moderate concentrations
Specialized Uses
- Veterinary Medicine:Used as an oral treatment for ketosis (hyperketonaemia) in ruminants and dairy cows.
- E-Cigarettes/Vape Liquid:Combined with vegetable glycerin as the base liquid to create vapor (acting as a thinner) and carry nicotine/flavorants.
- Insect Preservation:Used to trap and preserve insects, including for DNA analysis.
- Laboratory & Diagnostic:Acts as a solvent for dyes, perfumes, and in ultrasound couplants.
