Product Description
Hexaglycerol (polyglycerin-6, PG6) is a viscous, light-yellow to colorless transparent liquid with strong hygroscopicity. It functions as a water-soluble polyol solvent with broad formulation compatibility, and serves as a key intermediate for plasticizers, anti-fogging agents, polyglycerol esters, and other functional chemical derivatives.

Application Scenarios
Hexaglycerol is widely used in personal-care formulations as a humectant, emollient, and dispersing agent. Beyond cosmetics, it serves as a functional intermediate across the food, rubber and plastics, petrochemical, and related industries — notably as a precursor to polyglycerol ester emulsifiers (E475), plasticizers, and anti-fogging agents.
