Propylene Glycol Dioleate (PGDO)

Overview

Propylene Glycol Dioleate (PGDO) is a versatile synthetic ester derived from propylene glycol and oleic acid. As a glycol ester, it is prized for its excellent emollient, lubricating, and dispersing properties. PGDO is a clear to light yellow oily liquid, known for its low odor and non-greasy feel, making it a preferred ingredient across various industrial and personal care applications. Its unique molecular structure provides a balance of polarity and non-polarity, enabling it to act as an effective solvent and co-emulsifier in complex formulations. CanCastor supplies high-quality PGDO, ensuring superior performance and consistency for our global clientele.
