1,2-Propanediol, 1 X 50 kg (134368-50KG)

1,2-Propanediol can be obtained as a byproduct in the dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone.It can undergo condensation with sebacic acid and citric acid in the absence of catalyst to give poly((1,2-propanediol-sebacate)-citrate) (PPSC), an elastomeric polyester, which can find applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. 1,2-Propanediol has been used: •for removing excess Oil Red O stain in zebrafish larvae •in the preparation of alginate hydrogels •for the dissolution of androstenone •for the calibration of cone beam scanner in computed tomography
