SOLVAY is the world-leader in the production and marketing of vegetable based high purity Polyglycerols (Diglycerol, Polyglycerol-3 and Polyglycerol-4).

These products are used as such or transformed into derivatives by our customers, to serve high added value markets (food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, plastics, etc). Polyglycerols have been known since the beginning of the 20th century, and polyglycerol fatty acid esters have been used in Europe and America since the 1940s. Continuous research carried out by Solvay has led to a new generation of polyglycerols with consistently high purity and unique properties. These products and their derivatives are used in a wide range of applications including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications.

Diglycerol

Diglycerol is a clear viscous liquid very similar to glycerol. It has a higher molecular weight than glycerol and is less volatile. It is water soluble and can be combined with aqueous systems.

Polyglycerol-3
Polyglycerol-3 is a clear yellowish viscous liquid with an average molecular weight of 250 g/mol. It is water soluble and is less hygroscopic than glycerol or diglycerol.
Polyglycerol-4

Polyglycerol-4 is a clear yellowish viscous liquid. It is less hygroscopic than glycerol or diglycerol.
