General

What is Propionic Acid? It is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid with chemical formula C₃H₆O₂. It is a liquid with a pungent and unpleasant smell somewhat resembling body odour. About half of the world production of propionic acid is consumed as a preservative for both animal feed and food for human consumption. It is also useful as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, especially polymers.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Propionic Acid 99.5%, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and bottled using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.

Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Frequent Uses

Polymerisation
Propionic acid is also useful as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, especially polymers. Cellulose-acetate-propionate is a useful thermoplastic. Vinyl propionate is also used.

Ester production
The esters of propionic acid have fruit-like odors and are sometimes used as solvents or artificial flavorings.

Waste management
In biogas plants, propionic acid is a common intermediate product, which is formed by fermentation with propionic acid bacteria. Its degradation in anaerobic environments (e.g. biogas plants) requires the activity of complex microbial communities.
