Sumitomo
On-Purpose DPG/TPG Process
Take a leap to
produce ONLY high value-added products
Did you know that “DPG/TPG is no longer by-product”?
Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) and Tripropylene Glycol (TPG) used to be niche byproducts obtained in a conventional Propylene Glycol (MPG) manufacturing process. Compared to MPG, you could only obtain 10% DPG/TPG at the most, and their production was limited due to saturation of MPG market.
In response to strong demand for DPG/TPG, we have changed this game: Sumitomo Chemical developed this unique, one-of-a-kind technology; “Sumitomo On-Purpose DPG/TPG process” which has recently been commercialized. This is the simplest way available to produce DPG/TPG only, your target products.
You can take your core business to another level by gaining independence from the saturated market of MPG.
