As industries move toward greener and safer production processes, bio-based materials are becoming essential to replace conventional petrochemical products. DAXSOL® Glycerol Carbonate, developed by UBE, represents a new generation of sustainable carbonates that combine high performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
With a biogenic content of 76% (USDA-certified), DAXSOL® Glycerol Carbonate offers a low-toxicity, non-flammable, and low-VOC profile, making it ideal for applications that demand safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Its dual functionality (as both a hydroxyl and carbonate compound) allows for remarkable versatility across industries and chemical processes.
DAXSOL® Glycerol Carbonate serves as a solvent, diluent, plasticizer, reactive additive, and coalescing agent, and also functions as a chemical intermediate or reagent in various formulations. It finds applications in construction materials, coatings, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, automotive, and energy storage systems. From its role as a curing agent in cement to its function as a plasticizer in cosmetic products or electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries, DAXSOL® Glycerol Carbonate enables safer and more sustainable chemistry across sectors.
Its high flash point (149,5°C), strong solvency power, and excellent miscibility with water and polar solvents provide enhanced process safety and formulation stability. Furthermore, it contributes to the development of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) and urethane systems through its reactivity with amines, demonstrating its potential as a building block for circular and low-carbon manufacturing.
By integrating DAXSOL® Glycerol Carbonate, industries can achieve improved performance and environmental compliance without compromising technical quality.
