Glycerine and Polyglycerols for the Industrial Sector
Modern industry seeks raw materials that combine high performance, sustainability and reliable supply. Technical glycerine and polyglycerols offer exceptional versatility. Their chemical and physical properties support many industrial processes. Manufacturers use them as synthetic intermediates, functional agents and components of complex formulations.
Spiga Nord develops and manufactures a complete range of technical glycerine grades and technical polyglycerols. The company also creates circular economy solutions for different manufacturing sectors.
Manufacturers use Spiga Nord products in resins, polyurethanes, lubricants, technical fluids and speciality chemicals. Other applications include composite materials, construction products, surface treatments, textiles, leather processing, detergents, drilling fluids and chemical synthesis.
Spiga Nord works directly with customers on new polymers, resins and lubricants. The company also supports projects that replace petrochemical raw materials with renewable alternatives. Its technical team helps each customer select the most suitable solution for the intended application.
Industrial Sector Challenges
The chemical industry faces a major transformation. Companies now focus on sustainability, lower CO₂ emissions and renewable raw materials. They also adopt new circular economy models. These priorities change how manufacturers design products and production processes.
Manufacturers must also maintain high technical performance, stable processes and competitive production costs. They need reliable supplies and consistent product quality. Each application requires specific levels of viscosity, colour, purity and water content. Chemical properties and processing behaviour also influence product selection.
No single raw material can meet every industrial requirement. Manufacturers must select each product according to its intended use and processing conditions. Spiga Nord addresses these needs with technical glycerine grades, polyglycerols and customised formulations. The company optimises its production processes and develops practical solutions for advanced industrial applications.
Our Industrial Solutions
Technical Glycerine

The range includes:
- GLYCEROL Technical min. 99.5%
- GLYCEROL Technical min. 86.5%
- Glycerol Technical Yellow
Manufacturers use these products as raw materials, chemical intermediates and functional components. Their properties support process performance, material workability and production efficiency.
Technical Polyglycerols
Polyglycerols extend the functional potential of glycerine and provide a versatile chemical platform for new industrial formulations. Their molecular structure supports many specialised applications.
Manufacturers use polyglycerols in resins, polymer systems, speciality lubricants, functional additives and drilling fluids. They also use them in advanced materials and other industrial processes.
The range includes:
- Technical Polyglycerine
- Refined Technical Polyglycerine
Spiga Nord offers Technical Polyglycerine in crude form and Refined Technical Polyglycerine in refined form. This choice helps customers select the most suitable grade for each process.
Water Treatment Products
Efficient resource management drives industrial innovation. Spiga Nord developed the SPIGAPUR line as part of its circular economy strategy. The company recovers specific streams from its production process and converts them into bacterial feed solutions.
Water-treatment operators widely use glycerol-based products as external carbon sources. In anoxic tanks, these products feed denitrifying bacteria and support the conversion of nitrates into gaseous nitrogen.
The range includes:
- SPIGAPUR1000 — COD value: 1,000,000 mg/L
- SPIGAPUR1200 — COD value: 1,200,000 mg/L
These products maximise the use of available resources, reduce waste and provide high-performance solutions in line with circular economy principles.
