Our Story
Established in 1987, Organic Chemical Corporation are established market leaders in the production of internationally recognised grades of BP, EP and USP glycerine.
In keeping with its long standing tradition of producing glycerine of the highest grade, we have developed a stringent manufacturing process focused on quality and safety. A fully fledged quality control laboratory is in place to ensure continuous testing from receipt of raw material right through to dispatch.
Our glycerine is suitable to be used in the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical markets. Organic Chemical Corporation glycerine is manufactured according to the requirements established by the Good Manufacturing Practices and complies with the purity requirements established for glycerine to be used as excipient in the manufacture of medicinal products.
Throughout our manufacturing process we strive to maintain GMP standards, in line with international requirements. Our end product is packed and delivered either in bulk or UN approved food grade HDPE drums (250kg or 30kg).
