IPG Diffuser Base (Augeo Equivalent)
Base for Reed diffusers, Plug-in Air Fresheners and Room Sprays
ĀIPG also known as Isopropylideneglycerol or Solketal is an effective non-hazardous and eco-friendly base solvent for making diffusers. Ā It is chemically equivalent to the trademarked product Augeo Clean Multi (which we also stock). Ā However, due to the non-trademarked status, this version of the chemical works out as a cheaper alternative while retaining all the key benefits of Augeo.
It has excellent solubility properties, an even evaporation profile and is non-flammable and non-corrosive making it an excellent choice when formulating reed diffusers.
How do I replace Augeo with IPG?
Easy! Ā It's just a one-for-one replacement. Ā Just sub in the exact same amount of IPG Diffuser Base as you had in your original formual.
Do I need to change my documentation?
Safety datasheets and labels should not need to change at all. Ā IPG has the same CAS number and hazard-statements. The Augeo was likely to already be listed by proper chemical name on your datasheets anyway. Ā You should however remove references to the Augeo trademark from your product if you have made any and are not using the trademarked version.
