USP grade glycerine
Glycerine is an alcohol with three hydroxyl groups (-OH), its chemical name according to IUPAC is 1,2,3 propanetriol (C3H8O3), present as a liquid at room temperature, it is colourless, odourless and water-soluble, it has a high coefficient of viscosity, with a high boiling point and has a sweet taste like other polyols.
Our glycerine refining processes were designed in order to achieve the highest quality standards of finished products and allow us to comply with USP and FCC regulations. The first is the standard that defines the characteristics that a pharmaceutical grade glycerine must have and the second is the standard established by the Codex Alimentarius for food additives.
Our processes are fully automated and allow us to maintain these high quality standards.
