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.

What is the function of methyl stearate and propylene glycol in hand cream?
Methyl stearate is used as emolient; propylene glycol is used as humectant, preservative and solvent.
Is polyethylene glycol used in auto antifreeze?
yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
What is Difference between mono propylene glycol and 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.
If propylene glycol is used as windshield washer anti-freeze will it set off a car breathalyzer meter?
It is used in toothpaste and YES, I confirmed it, I blew .11 BAC right after brushing.
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as propylene glycol?
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.
What is propylene glycol in?
Propylene glycol used to be in vehicle antifreeze.
What type of glycol is used in ice rinks?
Propylene glycol.

Mostly ethylene or propylene glycol.
Is polyethylene glycol used in auto antifreeze?
yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
Is propylene glycol edible?
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).
