Question
What ratio of Propylene Glycol to add to machine tank for freezing ice popsicles?
Answer

Recommended Propylene Glycol to Water Ratio:

  • 30% Propylene Glycol / 70% Water
    🧊 Freezing point: approx. -12°C (10°F)
    Best balance between cooling efficiency and freeze protection.
    Ideal for typical popsicle machines where freezing temp is just below 0°C.

📌 Why This Ratio Works:

  • Too little glycol → poor freeze protection

  • Too much glycol → reduced heat transfer efficiency

  • 30:70 offers optimal thermal conductivity and efficient freezing for food-grade applications.

⚠️ Important:

  • Always use USP-grade (food-safe) propylene glycol for food applications.

  • Mix thoroughly before filling the machine tank.
