Monopropylene Glycol

Following successful assessment and certification we are proud to announce that we can offer FEMAS assured Monopropylene glycol. 

Monopropylene Glycol is a viscous, colourless and odourless organic liquid. Also referred to as Propylene Glycol, Propane-1,2-Diol, PG and MPG, it carries the chemical formula C3H802 and has a number of uses across a variety of different industries and applications. Monarch Chemicals are a leading UK supplier of MPG and can offer USP, Industrial and Feed grades.

Monopropylene Glycol USP

Monopropylene Glycol USP grade has a minimum purity of 99.8%. This grade has a wide number of uses across food, flavourings, pharmaceutical and personal care products. It is used as a ‘carrier’ in e-cigarette / vape products, delivering the flavour and providing a throat-hit which ex-smokers look for in vape products. It is also used as an emulsifier in cosmetics, humectant in foods and a plasticiser in personal care products such as hand gels and moisturising creams.

Monopropylene Glycol Industrial Grade

Monopropylene Glycol Industrial grade carries a minimum purity of 99.5% and is not suitable for use in food, feed, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications. It is most commonly used as a coolant or anti-freeze product, where it is often used as a de-icing agent for runways and aircraft along with being used in heat transfer fluids, engine coolants and as a chiller glycol.

Monopropylene Glycol Feed Grade

Monopropylene glycol feed grade from Monarch chemicals is a European produced product and is registered under FEMAS (Feed Materials Assurance Scheme). Tailor made for livestock applications, Monopropylene Glycol (MPG) works to assist in the formation of glucose to rebalance negative energy experienced in dairy cattle, particularly during periods of calving.

MPG can be administered to dairy cows orally via drencher, in conjunction with a robotic system or mixed with feed where it has the added benefit of also enhancing the palatability of animal feeds. It serves as a readily available energy source in ketosis treatment and prevention and has an energy value of 23.6 Mj/Kg.
