GLYCERINE (GLYCEROL) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Glycerine, also known as glycerin or glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with the chemical formula C3H8O3 that is widely used as a humectant, solvent, and processing aid in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Although generally regarded as safe, concentrated glycerine may cause mild skin or respiratory irritation with prolonged exposure. When evaluating chemical compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be selected appropriately to maintain sealing performance. Proper handling, storage, and protective practices are recommended.
