Diglycerol

Diglycerol (CAS 627-82-7) is a polyol derived from glycerol dimerization, with higher molecular weight and lower hygroscopicity than glycerol.

Where is Diglycerol used?

• Food: emulsifier and carrier for flavors, fats and fat-soluble ingredients in processed foods and confectionery
• Personal care: humectant and co-solvent in skin creams, serums and hair conditioners
• Pharmaceuticals: solvent and carrier in topical and oral preparations where controlled viscosity is required
• Polymers: plasticizer and softening agent that improves flexibility in bio-based and conventional systems
• It retains moisture without the heavy feel associated with glycerol.

Good to know: Food-grade material typically meets purity standards suitable for regulated use.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on order volume
