Propylene glycol (PG) is a kind of viscous, slightly sweet liquid that has moisture absorption, lubrication and certain antibacterial effects.
Wet wipes often contain propylene glycol. Propylene glycol has a moisturizing effect. It can absorb some moisture from the air to the skin, avoiding dry skin caused by the volatilization of liquid after rubbing.

In addition, the antibacterial activity of propylene glycol can delay the growth of bacteria on wet wipes, thereby protecting the safety of users.

Propylene glycol has the ability to sterilize so that it can be used as a preservative and sterilant for canned fruits, jams, preserved products, ham and sausages.

When the concentration of propylene glycol is more than 10%, it can prevent the growth of mold in fluid food, which is effective for the preservation of packaged food.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
