Glycerine CP Grade Supplier, Exporter & Global Wholesaler
PAU Chemicals is an India-based global supplier and exporter of CP Grade Glycerine at 99.5% minimum, for cosmetic, industrial and technical buyers who do not require pharmacopoeial certification.
CP — Chemically Pure — Grade Glycerine is refined to 99.5% but is not certified to a pharmacopoeial monograph. For the large body of industrial, cosmetic and technical uses that do not require IP, BP or USP compliance, it delivers the same working performance at a lower cost.
PAU Chemicals supplies vegetable-origin CP glycerine in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks, with colour, moisture and ash documented per batch.
If your product is a cosmetic sold in a regulated market, check whether your dossier actually requires pharmacopoeial grade before ordering CP. Many cosmetic applications do not — and the price difference over a container is significant.Technical Specifications

What is CP Grade Glycerine, and what is it called locally?
CP stands for Chemically Pure. It is refined glycerine at 99.5%, called simply glycerine or glycerin in trade, without pharmacopoeial certification.
What is it used for?
Cosmetics and soap manufacture, textile and leather softening, tobacco humectants, antifreeze, resins, printing inks and a wide range of industrial intermediates.
How does it differ from IP/BP/USP grade?
Chemically it is comparable, but it is not certified against a pharmacopoeial monograph and carries no accompanying compliance testing. Pharmaceutical, oral and injectable applications require the pharmacopoeial grade.
Can I use it in cosmetics?
Many cosmetic applications accept CP grade, but the requirement depends on your market and product dossier. Confirm before ordering — the cost difference across a container is meaningful.
Is it vegetable or animal derived?
Vegetable-origin material is available and should be specified at enquiry if your positioning, certification or religious compliance requirements depend on it.
Why has my glycerine become dilute in storage?
It is strongly hygroscopic and pulls moisture from the air. Keep drums sealed between uses; an open drum in humid conditions loses concentration measurably.
How should it be stored, and what is the shelf life?
In sealed containers in a cool, dry place. Glycerine is hygroscopic and absorbs atmospheric moisture, which lowers concentration — keep drums closed between uses.
What packing sizes and minimum order quantity do you offer?
250 kg HDPE drums, 1,250 kg IBCs and ISO tanks for bulk. Export MOQ is 1 FCL.
Which ports and Incoterms do you ship on, and how long does delivery take?
Hazira and Nhava Sheva on EXW, FOB, C&F and CIF terms, typically 3 to 4 weeks, shipping as general cargo.
