Product Overview

With the molecular formula $C_{4}H_{6}O_{4}$, this compound features a unique five-membered cyclic carbonate ring coupled with a primary hydroxyl group. This dual functionality allows for excellent chemical reactivity and broad formulating compatibility. Derived largely from renewable glycerol (a byproduct of biodiesel production), it aligns perfectly with modern green chemistry principles, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional petrochemical solvents.

Key Chemical Properties

Appearance & Physical State: Typically a clear, colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid at room temperature.
Molecular Weight: $118.09$ g/mol.
Safety Profile: Non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, and possesses a high boiling point with very low volatility.
Solubility: Fully miscible with water, alcohols, and most polar organic solvents, but insoluble in non-polar hydrocarbons.

Core Applications

Due to its unique structure, Glycerol Carbonate serves as a vital component in several demanding fields:

Advanced Electrolytes: It is heavily utilized as a high-performance solvent in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors due to its high dielectric constant and excellent thermal stability.
Eco-friendly Solvents: It acts as a safe, biodegradable solvent in industrial cleaning formulations, paint strippers, and coatings.
Chemical Synthesis: It functions as a reactive intermediate for the production of polycarbonates, polyurethanes, and specialized surfactants.
Personal Care & Pharmaceuticals: The compound's gentle nature, humectant properties, and safety profile make it an excellent moisturizing and stabilizing agent in cosmetics and personal care products.

Storage & Handling

Glycerol Carbonate should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. While it is classified as safe, standard laboratory and industrial handling precautions (such as wearing gloves and safety glasses) should be observed.

Whether you are aiming to enhance the sustainability of your formulations or looking for a premium, high-boiling-point solvent, Glycerol Carbonate provides an optimal balance of performance and environmental responsibility.
