USP Grade Inhibited Propylene Glycol: Jeffcool P-200

Jeffcool P-200 is a USP grade inhibited propylene glycol that designates its use around food, food-based industries, and potable water. The “inhibited” portion of its title deems it safe for use in metals since it is corrosion-inhibited. Its primary roles are as an industrial coolant and heat transfer fluid. However, Florida ingredient distributor Bell Chem stocks this important chemical for more than food use. Read below for more details on inhibited propylene glycol.

Coolant
Many food and beverage industries rely on Jeffcool P-200 within their machinery as it maintains, cools, or freezes edible products. Breweries and wineries find Jeffcool P-200 ideal for cooling beverages expediently. The dairy industry understands the importance of quickly reducing the temperature of fresh milk, and inhibited propylene glycol is able to substantially lower milk temperatures quickly and evenly. 

Outside the food and beverage industry, USP grade inhibited propylene glycol (Jeffcool P-200) continues to prove its worth in HVAC systems and skating rinks as it maintains constant temperatures necessary for either application.

Heat Transfer
Frozen foods are generally processed with either spray or immersion freezing methods. Inhibited propylene glycol transfers heat from foods for rapid freezing. During winter, accumulated snow and ice can greatly impact walk-in traffic for businesses. When sidewalk and walkway infrastructure is designed with snow-melt systems with inhibited propylene glycol coursing through their channels, the affected areas remain ice and snow free. Applications of snow-melt systems include helipads, walkways, loading docks, and ramps.
