Frequently Asked Questions
Is glycerine the same as glycerol or glycerin?
Yes. Glycerine, glycerin (US spelling) and glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) all describe the same substance, CAS 56-81-5. The Indian Pharmacopoeia monograph lists it as Glycerin; the material we supply is Refined Glycerine (IP).
What is the CAS number and HSN code for glycerine?
Glycerine is CAS 56-81-5. Its HSN code is 2905 45 00.
What does IP grade glycerine mean?
IP grade means the material is supplied against the Indian Pharmacopoeia 2022 Glycerin monograph — assay 98.0 – 101.0 % on an anhydrous basis, water 2.0 % w/w max, heavy metals (as Pb) 5 ppm max, and ethylene glycol / diethylene glycol 0.10 % max each. Ours is Refined Glycerine (IP), manufactured by Kaleesuwari Refinery and Industry Private Limited (KRIPL) under a drug licence, and Halal certified.
What is the specific gravity and refractive index of glycerine?
Relative density at 20 °C is 1.258 – 1.268 and refractive index at 20 °C is 1.470 – 1.475. Water content is 2.0 % w/w max, with assay 98.0 – 101.0 % on an anhydrous basis.
What is refined glycerine IP used for?
It is a standard humectant and solvent base used in pharmaceutical formulations, personal care and cosmetic products, soaps and oral care, and as a polyol in resin and coating chemistry. Its miscibility with water and ethanol makes it easy to blend into aqueous and alcoholic systems.
