Bio-Based Glycerol
Our bio-based glycerol is produced from rapeseed, a renewable raw material, and a by-product of biodiesel production. It offers numerous advantages compared to petroleum-derived glycerol.


  • Non-toxic, nonirritating
  • Nonflammable (flash point 160 °C, autoflammability 400 °C)
  • No waste due to 100% biodegradability
  • Low vapor pressure (environmental advantage)
  • Reliable availability (independent of petrochemical production)
