Propylene Glycol (PG)
USD Kosher Food Grade Propylene Glycol used for mixing your own eJuice. PG, short for Propylene Glycol is used as a base which is then mixed with flavor concentrate and VG to create the final product knows as E-Liquid or eJuice.
Propylene Glycol (PG) is a synthetic substance, which works as an excellent solvent and base for the distribution and mixing of other chemical compounds. It has a form of an oily liquid, with a sweetish aftertaste and high viscosity.
What Is Propylene Glycol?
Propylene Glycol, or “PG” for short, is a clear and odorless liquid with a slight viscosity and an odorless smell. It is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, and is widely used as an agent to retain water. PG is a synthetic compound, meaning that it is made in a laboratory or with humain aid. In 1973, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration deemed Propylene Glycol safe for food and human consumption. There are three broad forms of PG used in a variety of different products across many different industries: Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol and Food Grade Propylene Glycol. We only provide USP Food Grade Propylene Glycol that has a 99.9% purity rate.
What does USP and Food Grade mean?
The standards “USP” and “Food Grade” in Propylene Glycol refer to the safety and purity tests that the product has undergone. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is an organization that was founded in 1820-- that’s earlier than the Food and Drug Administration! The U.S. Pharmacopeia created a set of safety regulations, standards and testing to ensure that all drugs and medications were of the highest quality, purity and potency.
The designation “Food Grade” is generally seen in products used in processing and manufacturing and means the product has been tested and is non-toxic, thereby safe for human consumption. Though you might be thinking that this is irrelevant in non-foods, however it’s actually very important! Many of these products are used in equipment and processing that comes in direct contact with the foods you eat! Further, you can rest assured that if your curious babies or fur babies come into contact with USP Food Grade PG, they will not be harmed! It is deemed generally safe, even in considerably large amounts.
How is our PG made?
All PG is made the same, it is a synthetic compound composed of 1,2 propanediol, 1,2 dihydroxypropane, methyl ethyl glycol and trimethyl glycol. Propylene Glycol is obtained from the hydration of propylene oxide. After the PG has been obtained through this process, it is then further refined and distilled to create the most purified form. It then undergoes a series of safety standards and testing to achieve USP and Food Grade standards.

PG in Vaping
Many of our consumers are in the vaping and tobacco alternatives industry; therefore, it is important to us that we provide our customers with the most accurate information for their applications, especially when purchasing PG in bulk. While Vegetable Glycerin is associated with vapor clouds and a softer throat impact, PG dilutes the nicotine very effectively, enhances the flavor component, and creates a more impactful throat hit. Many vapers will even adjust their PG/VG ratios to create a more flavorful inhale, with a greater throat hit more reminiscent of smoking cigarettes.
