Product Application of GlycerolCAS#56-81-5
Glycerin is an important basic organic raw material, which is widely used in industry, medicine and daily life. At present, it has more than 1,700 uses, mainly in medicine, cosmetics, alkyd resins, tobacco, food, chemicalbook, acid resins, celluloid and explosives, textile printing and dyeing, etc. The consumption of glycerin in the fields of alkyd resins, celluloid and explosives is on a downward trend. However, its application in medicine, cosmetics and food will continue to grow.
