Description

General description

Obtained from oils and fats as a biproduct in the manufacturing of soaps and fatty acids (absorbance: ≤0.07 at 260 nm; ≤0.02 at 280 nm).

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Glycerol, with its high boiling point, low flammability, and polarity, is a standout choice. As a non-toxic and biodegradable compound, it aligns perfectly with the principles of ′Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries′ and ′Design for Degradation′. Click here for more information.
