Description

Glycerin (CAS 80-43-3), also known as glycerol or propane-1,2,3-triol, is a simple polyol compound with the molecular formula C₃H₈O₃. This colorless, odorless, viscous liquid is widely utilized in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and industrial applications due to its hygroscopic properties and non-toxic nature. Our high-purity glycerin (??99.5%) is rigorously tested for impurities, ensuring optimal performance in sensitive applications. It exhibits excellent solubility in water and alcohol while being insoluble in oils. Available in research-grade quantities with batch-specific certificates of analysis, this versatile chemical is ideal for formulations requiring moisture retention, plasticization, or humectant properties. Packaged in amber glass bottles or HDPE containers to maintain stability.

Application

Glycerin serves as a key humectant in skincare and cosmetic formulations, preventing moisture loss while improving product texture. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a solvent, plasticizer for capsules, and lubricant in topical preparations. The food industry employs glycerin as a sweetener, preservative, and thickening agent in low-water-activity products. Laboratory applications include cryoprotectant for cell preservation and viscosity modifier in analytical reagents. Its hygroscopic nature also makes it valuable for controlling humidity in sensitive industrial processes.
