Glycerin 99.5 % (technical) -

CAS-Nummer: 56-81-5
Synonym: 1,2,3-propanetriol, glycerol

For chemical-technical applications.

Application

Glycerin, which was originally obtained as a cleavage product in the splitting of oils and fats, is now obtained on a large scale in the production of methyl esters as part of the production of sustainable fuels. There, it is produced as a by-product that is concentrated and refined into glycerin in further refining and purification processes. Glycerin has a wide range of applications, as its product properties offer a broad spectrum of possible uses. Its use in leather care products and lubricants is just as possible as its use as a coolant and antifreeze for motor vehicles, as a solar fluid in PV systems or other environments where heat has to be dissipated or cold supplied. Since 2009, major automotive manufacturers have also been using glycerine from used cooking oils to replace ethylene glycol as a coolant additive (G13) in their vehicles. Glycerin 99.5% technical from chemiekontor. de is harmless to health. With over 800 applications in wide areas, glycerin is one of the most important products in the oleo-chemical industry.

Further information

Glycerin forms white vapor when exposed to heat. This is why it is also used in fog machines. Glycerin is not an oil, but the simplest, trivalent alcohol. It can be produced today by various routes. Even by the synthesis of propane according to this as a petroleum-based product. By far the largest amount is contributed by the production of biogenic fuels. The industrial history of glycerin dates back to 1779, when it was discovered during the splitting of fats.

Storage

Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
