Glycerol is the trivial name and the most commonly used term for propantriol or propane-1,2,3-triol and is a trivalent alcohol. The name „glycerol“ was introduced because it has the correct -ol suffix for an alcohol. Glycerol has many uses, e.g. it is added to cosmetics or can be used as an antifreeze, lubricant and softener. |
