Glycerine 99.5% Technical Grade

Glycerine 99.5% – Technical Grade (vegetable-based, GMO-free)

Our vegetable-based glycerine with a purity of 99.5% is a versatile, clear liquid suitable for a wide range of technical applications. It is derived from vegetable oils and fats and is produced, among other processes, as a by-product of biodiesel manufacturing. Depending on the temperature, it exhibits a viscosity ranging from thick and honey-like to more fluid.

Thanks to its hygroscopic properties (moisture-binding), glycerine is ideally suited as a humectant, plasticiser, and protective component across various applications.

Areas of Application

Technical Applications:

• Humectant in paints (e.g. watercolours) to prevent drying out
• Plasticiser for starch-based films to prevent brittleness
• Used as an antifreeze agent and lubricant
• Base material (reactant) for the production of dyes, plastics, and electronic components (e.g. microchips)
• Lubricant for plastic and rubber parts

Household & Cleaning:

• Rubber care: Keeps seals on cars, windows, and refrigerators supple
• Antifreeze: Prevents locks and seals from freezing
• Window cleaning: Reduces fogging on glass surfaces and mirrors
