Applications
Glycerol formal is a polar, low-toxicity aprotic solvent with excellent solvency and stability.
- Pharmaceuticals: Primary solvent for injectable formulations (e.g., ivermectin, florfenicol, oxytetracycline); improves drug solubility and stability, reduces irritation.
- Pesticides: Solvent/emulsifier for insecticides and herbicides; enhances formulation stability and bioavailability.
- Industrial: Used in coatings, inks, and cosmetics as a humectant and thickener; also serves as a chemical intermediate.
Safety Information
- Toxicity: Low acute toxicity; no significant skin/eye irritation reported.
- Inhalation: May cause mild respiratory irritation; use ventilation and respiratory protection in enclosed spaces.
- Skin Contact: Generally harmless; rinse with warm water if irritation occurs.
- Eye Contact: May cause transient irritation; flush with saline and seek medical attention if needed.
- Ingestion: Large doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; no severe toxicity expected.
- Fire Hazard: Combustible; avoid open flames and high temperatures.
- Storage: Keep separate from strong acids, bases, and oxidants; use corrosion-resistant containers.
