What is technical glycerin?
Technical glycerin is a thick, viscous liquid with a neutral odor and a characteristic sweet taste. Due to its versatile structure, it finds applications in many industrial sectors and is a valuable component in technological and production processes. Technical glycerin is produced as a by-product in biodiesel production processes and in complex processes involving the processing of vegetable and animal fats.


Physicochemical properties
Technical glycerin, under typical standard conditions, appears as a clear liquid with hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. Glycerin has a high boiling point and a low melting point, which depends on the degree of purity.
Technical glycerin is a hydrophilic substance, readily soluble in water and many polar solvents, such as ethyl alcohol. Moreover, the high chemical stability of glycerin ensures that it does not easily degrade under the influence of light or air, making it a durable component in many industrial applications.

Properties of technical glycerin
Technical glycerin is a versatile chemical substance whose properties find applications in various industrial sectors.
It primarily exhibits hygroscopic properties. It effectively attracts and retains water, making it useful as an agent to prevent the drying of various materials, such as paper and industrial fluids. It also has the ability to form emulsions, as it helps combine oily and aqueous components, making it valuable in the production of paints and technical fluids.
Technical glycerin is also characterized by resistance to chemical degradation, which increases the durability of the products in which it is used. It is not subject to ADR regulations, making it easier to handle logistically and less costly to distribute.
Applications of technical glycerin
- Dye production – technical glycerin helps achieve the right consistency and flexibility in dyes, improving their quality and durability.
- Przemysł papierniczy – gliceryna, stosowana jako plastyfikator i smar, poprawia elastyczność papieru oraz ułatwia jego przetwarzanie na liniach produkcyjnych.
- Technical fluids – a key ingredient in the production of brake and coolant fluids; its properties prevent corrosion and ensure the proper viscosity of the fluids.
- Special effects – used in the production of sweat and smoke simulations; it is effective in the film and theater industries.
- Watercolors – as a plasticizer, it increases the flexibility of the paints, making them easier to apply and mix.
The applications of technical glycerin are extremely wide, making it a valuable ingredient in various production processes. We invite you to purchase from Centro-chem!
