Glycerin

Description of Glycerin:

RAHA Oil glycerin (Glycerol) is a clear, odorless, viscous liquid with a naturally sweet taste. It is derived from both natural and petrochemical feedstocks. Glycerin occurs in combined form (triglycerides) in animal fats and vegetable oils and is obtained from these fats and oils during transesterification, such as in biodiesel production. Glycerin also called glycerolor is a simple polyol compound. The glycerol backbone is found in many lipids which are known as glycerides. Glycerin currently has over 1500 known uses in many different industries ranging from foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics (USP grade glycerin) to paints, coatings and other industrial types of applications (technical grade glycerin). It continues to be one of the most versatile and valuable byproducts created during biodiesel production.

RAHA Oil Glycerin is chemically a trihydric alcohol that is called also as ” Glycerol”. This commodity is by product of RAHA Oil chemicals and biodiesel production. Refined Glycerin is the final product of the processing and refining for purification of crude ones . After refining its purity will become between 95% or more.
About physical characteristics of refined glycerolor, it is water-soluble clear or colorless, odorless, viscous liquid and it has high boiling point. Due to Refined Glycerin is a nontoxic product to human health and environment it can be used in many areas. For instance food industry, pharmaceutical, cosmetic , personal care and industrial applications.

Uses of Glycerin:

Glycerolor is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking.

In food industry: In food and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent, and sweetener, and may help preserve foods. It is also used as filler in commercially prepared low-fat foods (e.g., cookies), and as a thickening agent in liqueurs.

In medical, pharmaceutical and personal care applications: Ichthyosis and xerosis have been relieved by the topical use glycerin. It is found in allergen immunotherapies, cough syrups, elixirs and expectorants, toothpaste, mouthwashes, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products, soaps, and water-based personal lubricants. In solid dosage forms like tablets, glycerol is used as a tablet holding agent. Glycerol is also used in blood banking to preserve red blood cells prior to freezing.

Packing of Glycerin

Glycerol packed in new or used 180 kg drums, iso tank, flexitanks, and bulk shipments. Each 20-foot container takes 80 drums.

Handling health & Safety:

Lubricants consisting of highly refined mineral oils with specification additives. In normal conditions of use, this lubricant presents no particular toxic hazard.
