Glycerin (CAS NO : 56-81-5)

Glycerin also known as Glycerol, is a high-purity, multifunctional trihydroxy alcohol that serves as a foundational "building block" across the life sciences and industrial sectors. Primarily derived as a co-product of oleochemical processing (fatty acid and biodiesel production), a viscous liquid recognised for its exceptional humectant, solvent, and emollient properties. In pharmaceutical sector, being a critical USP/EP excipient - preferred right from cough syrups to suppository bases, while in the beauty industry, Glycerine remains the gold-standard humectant for skin hydration. Beyond its biological applications, Glyceritol is a versatile industrial intermediate used in the synthesis of alkyd resins, polyurethanes, and explosives (nitroglycerin). By ensuring strictly controlled moisture levels and adhering to global pharmacopoeia standards, our Glyrol provides a reliable, non-toxic, and sustainable solution for high-performance formulations. We are a globally established Bulk Glycerin per-tonne price supplier, along with a broad portfolio of other speciality chemicals, oleochemicals, life science, crop science, and elemental derivatives manufacturer worldwide through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), traceability, and consistent global supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.
