Where do we deliver?

We deliver bulk quantities worldwide and hold stock in several locations across Europe, supplying our European customers in drums, IBCs or in bulk.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Our minimum order is one tonne for dipropylene glycol (DPG) and monopropylene glycol (MPG), and one full truckload for glycerine, MEG or DEG (ISO tank or tank truck). If you are unsure whether we can supply you, feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to see how we can help.

What registrations and certifications cover our products?

All products we supply in Europe are REACH registered. For our customers in the food sector we supply Kosher and Halal certified grades. For our customers in the fragrance sector, supplier-issued certificates of conformity to IFRA Standards are available for selected products and grades.

What are glycols used for?

Depending on the product, glycols are typically used for their moisture retention properties, heat-transfer and antifreeze properties, and they can be used as solvents. They can also be used as a reactive feedstock in resin production.

What industries do we serve?

We serve a wide range of industries, with suitability depending on the product and grade.

• Food and feed sectors: glycerine and synthetic or vegetable-based MPG.
• Cosmetics and personal care: glycerine, synthetic or vegetable-based MPG, and DPG.
• Fragrances: dipropylene glycol (DPG).
• Antifreeze and heat-transfer fluids: MEG and MPG.
• Resins, fibres and plastics: glycols used as raw materials or process chemicals.

What is the difference between glycols and glycol ethers?

Glycols have two -OH groups, whereas glycol ethers have had one or both -OH group converted into an ether. Glycol ethers are commonly used as a solvent in many applications. Visit our solvants éthers de glycol page to learn more about their applications.
