We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Glycerol, with its high boiling point, low flammability, and polarity, is a standout choice. As a non-toxic and biodegradable compound, it aligns perfectly with the principles of ′Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries′ and ′Design for Degradation′. Click here for more information.
Glycerol, also known as Glycerin, is a sugar alcohol. It is a viscous liquid that is odorless, colorless, and hygroscopic in nature. It is highly soluble in water and can also react with aldehydes, ketones, acetic acid, methyl, and ethyl acetates forming acetals, cetals, and glycerine acetates. It finds numerous applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors.

Application

Glycerol is used as a starting material or reactant in chemical synthesis.
