Glycol used in a solar water heater is unique and must have a few features that regular propylene glycol does not have. 1st it must be able to with stand extreme high temperatures that can and will occur in a solar system including stagnation temperatures that can reach 410 F.
The following criteria could be used to choose the right type of glycol for a solar thermal application: High thermally stability at temperatures up to 350°F (177°C). Nontoxic. Good corrosion protection. High reserve alkalinity or good pH buffering.
Propylene glycol, USP has been relatively trouble-free in solar water heaters with pressurised glycol loops, where pressures are in the range 15 - 30 psi (100 - 200 kPa).
By code, any solar application involving potable drinking water must use a non toxic blend of solar glycol known as propylene. This is a food grade glycol and is non toxic. However, when selecting a propylene glycol one must be careful as all are not the same.
Two types of propylene glycol are available: food-grade propylene glycol (propylene glycol, USP) and inhibited propylene glycol, e.g., DOWFROST, DOWFROST HD and Dowcal*20-G (Only available in Europe). DOWFROST may degrade when subjected to temperatures in excess of 250°F (121°C); somewhat higher for DOWFROST HD, 325°F (163°C).

Propylene Glycol is a non-toxic, virtually odourless, hygroscopic liquid that prevents the surfaces of heat exchangers from being corroded, and ensures consistently high thermal efficiency. The corrosion inhibitors contained in the Glycol reliably protect the metals normally used in solar installations and other heating equipment against ...
It is a preservative: Due to its antibacterial qualities, which help inhibit the proliferation of germs, propylene glycol may help extend the shelf life of cosmetic products and keeps the goods fresh. It increases the potency of other ingredients: Propylene glycol helps active substances enter the skin more effectively.Or, to put it another way, the advantages of this …
For solar thermal applications, mixtures based on propylene glycol or the green glycol are recommended. Both fluids can be inhibited and adjusted for a higher reserve alkalinity to slow degradation. They offer safe, nontoxic solutions. The green glycol provides better …
Find out what you need to know about propylene glycol in foods. Discover what it is, its uses, and the risk it poses to your health.
A ready-to-use, extreme temperature rated solar heat transfer fluid (solar fluid) based on propylene glycol, with frost protection down to -20°C. Suitable for use in solar thermal hot …
Propylene glycol degrades much faster than its ethylene counterpart, particularly within the higher operating temperatures seen in solar thermal systems. This will require more regular system maintenance, and the costs that are associated with it.

Propylene glycol, a versatile and widely used chemical, serves various purposes across different industries comes in two primary grades: food-grade and industrial-grade. In this blog post, we''ll delve into the distinctions between these grades, emphasizing that the requirement for food-grade propylene glycol does not necessarily imply its intended ingestion.
Propylene glycol is a heat transfer medium that has been used successfully for twenty years in solar water heaters requiring freeze protection. The glycol is mixed with distilled or deionised water to form a 40 - 50% (by volume) solution of glycol.
Little sips helped keep the pain at bay, but then I started thinking about propylene glycol. Alcoholic beverages almost never come with ingredient labels. Artificially flavoured beverages like liqueurs, Fireball, flavoured vodkas, flavoured rums, rum coolers, etc. are obvious choices for propylene glycol use.
XMaxx™ propylene glycol products are comprised of inhibited and uninhibited non-toxic propylene glycol solutions. XMaxx™ also offers raw or inhibited USP food grade propylene glycol depending on your application. Our line of …
