In the dominant industrial process for 1,2-propanediol, the direct hydrolysis of propylene oxide in the presence of water, dipropylene glycol is generated as well. It arises through the sequential addition of propylene oxide to 1,2-propanediol. The process starts by combining propylene oxide and water at a molar ratio of 1:15, at an initial temperature of 125°C and a pressure of about 2 MPa. The resulting mixture of 1,2-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol is approximately in the ratio of 100:10:1. The three products are separated by three successive vacuum distillations.
