Distilled Glycerin 99.7%

Formula: C₃H₈O₃ GOST/CAS: CAS 56-81-5 / ГОСТ 6824-96

Distilled Glycerin 99.7% (high-purity trihydric alcohol) is a clear, viscous, hygroscopic, odorless liquid with a sweet taste. In the textile industry, it acts as a key agent for sizing, fiber softening, and dye solution stabilization. Due to its high chemical purity and excellent water solubility, it effectively retains moisture, prevents yarn from drying out, and enhances fabric elasticity. It is an indispensable component in weaving, finishing, and textile printing processes.

Applications

Textile Manufacturing and Sizing: Used in yarn sizing and lubrication processes. It softens fibers and imparts high elasticity, flexibility, and strength to yarns, significantly reducing breakage rates on weaving looms.

Fabric Printing and Dyeing: Acts as a solvent and leveling agent in printing inks and dye pastes. It ensures deep penetration of the dye into the fiber structure, helping to achieve bright, uniform, and long-lasting colors.

Leather and Footwear Industry: Applied for fatliquoring, softening, and conditioning leather. It prevents natural and synthetic leather materials from drying out, cracking, and deforming.

Chemical Synthesis and Related Industries: Serves as a raw material for the production of alkyd resins, polyurethanes, plasticizers, and lubricants. It is also widely used in household chemicals, cosmetics, and the paper industry to soften paper webs.

Key Advantages

High Hygroscopicity and Moisture Retention: Effectively absorbs moisture from the air and locks it within the textile fibers, preventing stiffness, brittleness, and dehydration of fabrics during storage.

Stability and Compatibility: Maintains its properties across a wide temperature range. It blends perfectly with most natural and synthetic polymers, surfactants, and textile auxiliaries.

Enhanced Antistatic Properties: Reduces static electricity buildup on synthetic and blended fabrics, which facilitates smoother textile raw material processing and improves the quality of the finished goods.

Safety and Eco-Friendliness: The product is fully biodegradable, non-toxic, non-allergenic, and completely safe for textile wastewater treatment plants when standard disposal regulations are followed.

Storage & Transportation

Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources and open flames.
Since the product is highly hygroscopic, container airtightness must be strictly maintained to prevent moisture absorption from the air.
Avoid direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature range is from +5°C to +30°C.
Transportable by all types of covered transport while maintaining the required temperature profile. The material is classified as non-hazardous for transport (no ADR regulation applies).
Shelf life — 1 year from the date of manufacture (in unopened original packaging).
