Crude Glycerin
- Derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils, which makes it a bio-based, sustainable product.
- Its glycerol content can reach 80% to 88%, making it suitable for further refining processes.

Uses
Due to its lower purity, crude glycerol is used mainly in industrial manufacturing. It is not pure enough for use in the pharmaceutical industry or in food production: in that case, its purity would have to exceed 99.5%. Raw material for the Glycerin Distillation process and for specific applications defined by industry.
