Propylene glycol: propane-1,2-diol,( C₃H₈O_{2 )}
It is a viscous colorless liquid which is nearly odorless but possesses a faintly sweet taste. Chemically it is classed as a diol and is miscible with a broad range of solvents, including water, acetone, and chloroform.

It is produced on a large-scale and is primarily used in the production of polymers but also sees use in food processing as the E-number E1520. Its presence in the "e-liquid" used in electronic has brought it to the attention of the general public.

The compound is sometimes called α-propylene glycol to distinguish it from the isomer propane-1,3-diol (β-propylene glycol).
