Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Glycerol is also called glycerol. It’s a sweet, colorless liquid that has no odor. Boiling point is 290, melting point is 17.9, and relative density is 1.2613. Anhydrous Glycerol is highly water-absorbent and infinitely miscible.
The blue color of glycerol copper can be seen when it reacts with copper hydroxide.
Glycerol’s hygroscopicity makes it a popular moisturizing and moisture-absorbing agent for cosmetics, leathers, tobaccos, foods, and textiles. Glycerol can also be used as a moisturizing agent and made into suppositories for constipation. Nitroglycerin ester can dilate the coronary artery, and be used for angina pectoris.
Alkyd resin is produced when glycerol reacts diacids. It’s widely used for paints and coatings. In nature, Glycerol occurs in many forms of esters. Hydrolysis can produce Glycerol and fatty acids if various animal and plant oils and fats contain carboxylic acid ester of Glycerol. Glycerol can be obtained from soap (oil hydrolysis in alkaline conditions) and petroleum cracking gas.
Function and effectiveness of glycerol. Glycerol softens stool and makes it easier to expel. It can also have a dehydrating effect. This compound injection, along with sodium ascorbate, is administered intravenously to reduce intraocular tension. External application has a hygroscopic action and softens tissues. Mainly used to treat constipation, generalized cerebral edema and glaucoma. Also, it is effective in treating winter cracking of the skin and peeling.
