Malaysian companies operating under the HS Code 29054500 produce and sell Glycerol (commonly known as Glycerin or Glycerine), which is primarily derived from palm oil. The specific products and grades manufactured and sold include:

1. Refined Glycerin (USP / BP / EP Grade)

This is high-purity vegetable glycerin with a minimum purity of 99.5%. It meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, oral care, and cosmetics.

2. Crude Glycerin

A byproduct of biodiesel and fatty acid production, containing around 80% glycerol content along with water and salt. It is mainly sold as a raw material for refining, as an ingredient in animal feed, or for biogas generation.

3. Technical Grade Glycerin

A grade of glycerin used in industrial applications where high pharmaceutical purity is not required. It is commonly used in the production of alkyd resins, polyurethane, anti-freeze, and various chemical syntheses.

4. Food Grade Glycerin

Used as a food additive (E422) acting as a humectant, solvent, sweetener, and preservative in food and beverage products.

5. Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Grade Glycerin

Used as an emollient, humectant, and solvent in skincare products, toothpastes, soaps, cough syrups, and other medical formulations.

These products are manufactured and exported globally by major Malaysian oleochemical producers such as KLK Oleo, IOI Oleochemicals, Emery Oleochemicals, and Wilmar.
