Popular questions
Is propylene glycol safe?
Yes—when used within regulatory limits in foods, propylene glycol is considered safe; the FDA classifies it as GRAS and EFSA set an acceptable daily intake of 25 mg/kg body weight per day.
What is propylene glycol used for?
In foods it acts as a solvent and carrier for flavors and colors, a humectant to retain moisture, and sometimes a stabilizer; it’s also used as a solvent in medicines and cosmetics.
Does propylene glycol cause cancer?
No—major health agencies do not classify propylene glycol as carcinogenic, and studies have not linked typical exposures to cancer.
Is propylene glycol antifreeze?
Yes, it’s used as a less‑toxic antifreeze/heat‑transfer fluid (e.g., RV or food‑industry systems), which is separate from its low‑level use in foods.
Is propylene glycol bad for you?
At normal food levels it isn’t considered harmful; very high intakes can cause irritation or metabolic effects, and people with kidney or liver disease and infants may be more sensitive.
Is ethanol polar?
Yes—its hydroxyl (-OH) group makes ethanol a polar molecule capable of hydrogen bonding, so it mixes readily with water even though its ethyl tail is nonpolar.
What is ethanol free gas?
Fuel labeled “ethanol free” or E0 contains no blended ethanol, unlike common E10 gasoline. Some drivers choose it for small engines, boats, or long-term storage to avoid moisture and corrosion issues.
What is ethanol used for?
Food makers use E1510 as a carrier for flavors, colors, and botanical extracts, and as a processing aid in beverages and tinctures. Beyond foods it serves as a disinfectant, industrial solvent, chemical feedstock, and renewable fuel component.
What is non ethanol gas?
Non-ethanol gas is another way to describe E0 gasoline—petrol that has not been blended with ethanol. It is favored for equipment sensitive to alcohol fuels.
Who sells ethanol free gas near me?
Availability depends on location; check for stations or marinas advertising E0 or “ethanol free” pumps, and consult tools such as state fuel registries or community-maintained maps (e.g., pure-gas.org) to find current suppliers nearby.
