It all depends upon what you want to do with it. Propylene Glycol is more hydrophillic (water loving) and hence hygroscopic then Hexylene Glycol. Both however, are miscIble with water, it is a question of degree. Hexylene Glycol with it's longer carbon chain makes it slightly less water loving and more oil loving. Pure Propylene Glycol can be safely used in food, but HG is not recommended. HG is used in some water-based inks to marry differing HLB value components used in the formulation to a successful union.

Yes, hexylene glycol can be used as a substitute for propylene glycol in some applications due to its similar properties as a solvent and preservative. However, it is important to check specific requirements and compatibility with other ingredients before substituting one for the other.
Methyl stearate is used as emolient; propylene glycol is used as humectant, preservative and solvent.
yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
Dipropylene glycol is produced as a byproduct of the manufacture of propylene glycol. Propylene glycol has hydrating propylene which synthesizes it. Dipropylene glycol is used in pesticides, polyester resins, plasticizers, and hydraulic brake fluids. Propylene glycol is used in preservatives for foods as a moisture retaining agent ins oral hygiene and cosmetic products.
It is used in toothpaste and YES, I confirmed it, I blew .11 BAC right after brushing.
Propylene glycol and benzine glycol differ in chemical formula and properties. Ethylene glycol is more toxic than propylene glycol, therefore propylene glycol is used when safer properties are required.
Propylene glycol used to be in vehicle antifreeze.
Propylene glycol.
fire retardants used in the foam are trimethyltrimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol.
Methyl stearate is used as emolient; propylene glycol is used as humectant, preservative and solvent.
antifreeze
Mostly ethylene or propylene glycol.

Propelene Glycol is used as a prescribed laxitive and should be used with a pharmists or doctor reccomended dosage and advice. This answer above is incorrect and is referring to polyethylene glycol which is a different substance. Propylene glycol is commonly used as a preservative in food and other products and according to the FDA is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

Dipropylene glycol is used in pesticides, polyester resins, plasticizers, and hydraulic brake fluids. Propylene glycol is used in preservatives for foods as a moisture retaining agent ins oral hygiene and cosmetic products.
Propylene glycol is what antifreeze is made of. However, very small amounts are used as a stabilizer in liquid livestock feeds,, and also in medications. No propylene glycol is known to have been used in diet drinks.
It's used as the liquid portion of some high-performance paints.
Any substance that lowers the freezing point of water such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol which are commonly added to water
