Antics of Pure Glycerin and Its Peculiar Properties
Glycerin does not freeze or evaporate at ordinary temperatures and shows minimal loss below 200 degrees F. It decomposes with odor when heated intensely and burns with a pale flame at around 300 degrees. It serves as a nonvolatile vehicle for pigments and is used in stamping, ribbon, and carbon papers. When frozen it crystallizes like candy, but melted crystals are hard to reform. Adding water prevents crystallization though cold may still separate crystals. Sudden extreme cold yields a gummy mass that cannot fully harden.
