Question about propylene glycol
Hi, Early in the pandemic, I was looking for a hand cleaner. Yes, I know, I am an idiot, I bought a gallon of food grade propylene glycol. At the time, I just stuck it under the bathroom sink.
Now I'd like to get rid of it. I live in Mexico. Across the street from me is an air conditioning repair place. Is this something they could use? I really just want to give it to someone and get it out of the house. Thanks.
(it said that homeowners should post in this AOP thread, I hope I'm in the right place).

You can ask them.
Refrigeration companies might need it.

I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

PG for ac had specific inhibitors. Would have to confirm source/blend.

PG is food safe/ non-poisonous. If you cannot find a home for it you can flush down the toilet..

It won't clog the system? That's what I was worried about in that scenario. Thanks!

Find a bar with a chiller for their taps they'll be happy to take it.

Or find someone with a camper heading North where it gets cold enough to freeze.

Can someone just use it as antifreeze in their car?

No it's too thick but people use it for drain line antifreeze and pump antifreeze for storage.

Be aware if additives for specific usage.
