TradeVerify1) Food industry(2) Pharmaceutical and personal care applicationsGlycerol is used in medical and pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication and as a humectant(3 )Surface science Glycerol is shown to reduce the coefficient of friction of polymer coated surfaces by several orders of magnitude. This effect is attributed to the enhanced viscosity of glycerol-water solutions as compared to the pure water(4) Botanical extracts When utilized in 'tincture' method extractions, specifically as a 10% solution, glycerol prevents tannins from precipitating in ethanol extracts of plants (tinctures). It is also used as a substitute for ethanol as a solvent in preparing herbal extractionsGlycerine is widely used in chemistry, paint industry, texitile and dyeing, and foods, as hygroscopic agent and sugar substitute.Crude Glycerine 80% is generated from Oleochemicals factory, light brown colour, 80% min.A dark brown viscous liquid derived from trans-esterification of crude palm oil. Crude glycerine 80% Specification DescriptionStandardGlycerol, %, minimum80.0Water content, %, maximum15.0Ash content, %, maximum7.0Methanol content, %, maximum0.5MONG, %, maximum3.0Salt content, %, maximum7.0(5) AntifreezeGlycerol was historically used as an anti-freeze for automotive applications before being replaced by ethylene glycol, which has a lower freezing point. While the minimum freezing point of a glycerol-water mixture is higher than an ethylene-glycol mixture, glycerol is not toxic and is being re-examined for use in automotive applications (6) Chemical intermediateGlycerol is used to produce nitroglycerin, or glycerol-trinitrate .Reliance on soap-making to supply co-product glycerine made it difficult to increase production to meet wartime demand. (7) Fuelglycerol can be used as an alternative to d
