Description

1,1'-Oxybisglycerol is a versatile polyol ether compound, valued for its unique bifunctional structure that combines glycerol units. This chemical is significant as a building block and intermediate for synthesizing specialty polymers, surfactants, and functional materials. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop products with enhanced solubility, stability, or biocompatibility.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and resins.
• In the formulation of personal care products, such as moisturizers and emollients, for its humectant properties.
• As a building block for non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers used in industrial and household cleaners.
• In pharmaceutical applications as a solubilizing agent or excipient in drug delivery systems.
• For the production of plasticizers and additives to improve material flexibility and performance.
• In the creation of cross-linking agents for coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
• As a component in lubricants and functional fluids for specialized industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our 1,1'-Oxybisglycerol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
