It typically grows to about 20 feet tall and is valued not for its leaves or flowers, but for its resin. Harvesters make careful incisions in the bark, allowing a milky sap to ooze out and harden upon exposure to air. Once solidified into resinous lumps, it is collected and later processed into essential oil. A blend of the resin is mixed with DPG as a solvent to render it mobile. DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL (DPG) is a colourless, nearly odourless liquid with a high boiling point and low toxicity. It is a mixture of three isomeric chemical compounds, 4-oxa-2,6-heptandiol, 2-(2-Hydroxy-propoxy)-propan-1-ol, and 2-(2-Hydroxy-1-methyl-ethoxy)-propan-1-ol.
