Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin
« on: January 25, 2013, 09:44:45 PM »
Is propylene Glycol a better solvent than Vegetable Glycerin?  Will it dissolve a solute faster or more efficiently? Which one is a better solvent?

Would it be faster to use ethanol as a solvent, then mix that with PG or VG?

Choice of solvent depends on the purpose. You will have to tell us what you want to do.
