GLYCERIN Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Glycerin, also known as glycerol or propane-1,2,3-triol, is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with the chemical formula C3H8O3 widely used as a humectant, solvent, and ingredient in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food processing applications. Although generally considered safe, concentrated glycerin may cause mild skin or respiratory irritation with prolonged exposure. In equipment containing glycerin, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated for chemical compatibility to ensure long term sealing performance. Proper handling and storage practices are recommended.
