Crude Glycerine 80%
Crude glycerine is a co-product of transesterification. Clear tea-colored, crude glycerine with low salt content can be distilled into high quality, colorless, distilled glycerine without difficulty.
APPLICATION
Personal Care
Glycerine is the base material in toothpaste, lotion and cream.
Pharmaceuticals
Glycerine is used as a solvent in the preparation of tinctures and as a humectant in ointments and creams. It is used as a levigating agent to reduce the particle size of a drug powder.
Tobacco
Glycerine is used as a humectant in tobacco products.
Food Industries
In the production of food, it is used as a solvent, a moistening agent (for example, in baked goods), and an ingredient in syrups. Glycerine prevents crystallization of sugar in icings and candy. It improves the texture and allows the use of less sugar in producing ice cream.
Lubricants & Greases
Glycerine can be used as a lubricant in situations where oil would not work. It is used in oxygen compressors because it is more resistant to oxidation than mineral oils.
Urethane Polymers
Glycerine is used in polyethers for urethane polymers.
Wrapping and Packaging Materials
It is used to improve the flexibility and toughness of cellophane and special quality papers.
Miscellaneous Uses
Other uses include antifreeze fluids for automatic sprinkler systems, defrosting for glass, de-icing, and in electrolytic fluids for making galvanized cloth and lightning arrestors.
