Technical properties in detail

The chemical and physical properties of glycerin make it a particularly versatile ingredient. It is colorless, odorless, water-soluble, and has a high hygroscopic effect. This ensures a reliable moisture supply, structural stability, and optimal solubility in complex formulations.

  • Hygroscopic and moisturizing
    Effectively binds water in creams, toothpaste, and pharmaceutical solutions.

  • High purity  
    Suitable for sensitive applications subject to strict regulatory requirements.

  • Good miscibility  
    Compatible with water and alcohol: ideal for homogeneous product formulations.

In the food sector, glycerin functions as a humectant, sweetener, and texture enhancer. Its excellent tolerance and plant-based origin make it particularly suitable for clean-label products. 

Glycerin is used as a high-purity excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It is produced from non-GMO rapeseed in accordance with the highest quality and safety standards. 

In the cosmetics industry, glycerin acts as a proven moisturizer and structuring agent. Our glycerin excels with its high purity, traceability, and plant-based origin.

Glycerin plays a multifunctional role in cleaning and care products for household and industrial use. It serves as a humectant, stabilizer, and softener, significantly improving the performance of modern cleaning formulations.

Glycerin also has a firm place in livestock farming, where it is valued as a readily available source of energy, improves feedstuff palatability, and supports metabolism, especially in demanding situations such as lactation, stress, or transition.

Glycerin is used as a versatile building block in polymer chemistry, particularly in the production of polyols for polyurethanes and in the modification of polyesters and alkyd resins. Its plant-based origin makes it particularly interesting for sustainable applications.
