Vegetable Glycerin

Glycerin is commonly called Glycerine.  Most glycerin is a by product of glycerol which is a by product of the bio diesel manufacturing process and can be purchased in technical or USP grade.  USP grade is approved for direct food and medical use.  Glycerin USP is packaged in a clean room environment to assure the glycerin is meets food grade and medical quality.

Chemicals Direct only purchases vegetable glycerin.  USP meets all aspects of technical grade quality, but technical grade quality does not meet USP requirements. For personal use, non-medical use, and non-food use pure glycerin can be used as a cost effective way to purchase your product.
