Glycerin

Glycerin application

For the chemical industry

First of all, this product is used for the production of heating fluid (coolant). You can buy technical glycerin for heating systems in Ukraine from Novohim as a thermagent. It has a fairly high thermal conductivity of 2350 J/(kg-g) at 20◦C.

Technical glycerin is also a popular component of industrial antifreeze and a refrigerant for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. In addition, you can buy glycerin for antifreeze in the car cooling system.

It is also profitable to buy distilled glycerin for the production of most technical detergents for industrial and household needs. This is due to the fact that the price of glycerin is quite affordable, and its emollient properties are very high.

Moreover, it is necessary to buy technical glycerin in bulk for the production of adhesive bases, automotive chemicals and materials made of polyethylene and propylene.

Glycerine has a low freezing point, but can crystallise if left at sub-zero temperatures for long periods of time. It then needs to be heated above +25 °C. The melting point of glycerol is +17.9 °C (according to Wikipedia).
Although the theoretical freezing point of an aqueous solution of 66.7% glycerin is -46 °C, in practice pure or highly purified glycerin can crystallise as early as -10 °C, especially if left in the cold for long periods of time. This is especially true in winter. After freezing, glycerine only regains its fluidity when heated to temperatures above +25 °C.

5 secrets of using glycerin in production.

1. Increases the shelf life of the product
2. Has a softening effect
3. Stabilises the consistency of the product
4. Provides optimal viscosity
5. Retains moisture in the product

For agriculture

It becomes necessary to buy glycerin in bulk in Ukraine during the period of pre-sowing preparation. This is because in the agricultural sector, farmers use a glycerin solution to treat seeds before sowing. This procedure increases the quantitative level of seed germination and reduces the time of their germination.

It is also used in the production of plant protection products. Namely, you can buy technical glycerin in Ukraine in tandem with an adhesive – a wetting agent, which significantly improves the quality and effectiveness of the finished product.

You can also buy industrial glycerin in barrels for use in formulations of complex fertilisers, micronutrient fertilisers and other agricultural chemicals.

Moreover, in horticulture, it is used to treat damaged tree bark.

For the paint and varnish industry

It is popular to buy glycerin in large volumes for the production of paints and varnishes, as it is included in the polishing compositions of varnishes for finishing. In addition, it is also used in the production of shoe care products and creams.

In the textile and paper industry

It makes sense to buy distilled glycerin for tanning leather and textile products, as well as for the production of all types of paper products.

Glycerin for soap bubbles

Nowadays, the organisation of bright events and children’s parties is gaining momentum, and to organise these shows, you also need to buy glycerin. It is used for the composition of soap bubbles. It is glycerin that strengthens the walls of the soap bubble, allows it to inflate to large sizes and gives it durability.

This product is produced by saponification of fats using a catalyst (alkali or acid). This production method produces glycerol as a by-product. In addition, glycerol can be produced by oxidising propylene glycol and by glycolic fermentation of vegetable oils.

7 benefits of using glycerin:

1. Has a natural origin
2. Safe for humans and the environment
3. Glycerin solution has a low freezing point
4. It has high thermal conductivity
5. Moisturises and softens
6. Extends the service life
7. Affordable and economical
