Anyone heard of propanediol?

1,2 propandiol is propylene glycol, just a different chemical name for it. There is a 1,3 propandiol which is manufactured and under patent (I think) called Susterra by DuPont (think name brand pharmaceutical vs. generic). As they have essentially the same chemical properties, I'm not sure on the advantage here.
I'd like to try it. Any ideas where I can get it (simple google search gave me only one seller, who sends orders only for Canada)?
I think it's harder to understand than that. I think that the 1,3 propandiol can be produced from plant materials. A positive difference that I would be in favour of.
It's to avoid allergies. I suspect pg allergies are popping up elsewhere. In cosemetics, they call it "natural" and an "alternative to petroleum". It's in a lot of things from skin care to toothpaste.

Propylene glycol, also called propane-1,2-diol.
1,3-Propanediol
It is mainly used as a building block in the production of polymers such as polytrimethylene terephthalate.
1,3-Propanediol can be formulated into a variety of industrial products including composites, adhesives, laminates, coatings, moldings, aliphatic polyesters, copolyesters. It is also a solvent and used as an antifreeze and in wood paint.

Don't think I want any of that

There is a nic vendor using it as a PG alternative. I can't find the link tho.
Real Flavors uses it in some of their SC flavors.

The NicBase vender links says:
A family of nicotine bases diluted with Propane-1,2-diol (1,2-Propanediol) at various ratios. 100% natural and alergen free.
Which is just another name for PG and not the same thing as 1,3-Propanediol
Right. After a brief look when I originally posted, i read a lil more.
It seems to negate a lot of symptoms which are attributed to 1,2 propylene glycol among those with a pg sensitivity.
Other than that, much of a muchness...

five pawns started a line using PDO.
Not sure if it's still available.

Yes, I heard that at our local vape shop a year or so ago--an alternative to PG. Not really sure what came of it, though.
If you read further down in your linked entry, you'd also see that there are no known adverse effects when inhaled.
PG has been used as a solvent in our e-liquids from day one, and is also used in pet safe anti-freeze. It's also used in a myriad of additional products when listed out like you've done above, would give anyone pause.
My first vendor purchased juices were 90pg/10vg. I vaped in that range for a couple of years before moving to 80pg/20vg and 70pg/30vg. Last DIY session I mixed some 60pg/40vg juices.
The more VG the less stealthy my vape becomes. There's more flavor at higher PG levels, but you have to balance the mix for throat hit. Too much PG and throat hit can be distracting. Increase VG for added sweetness and milder flavor and TH.
