VWR D-(-)-Sorbitol, Technical Grade is a versatile sugar alcohol (polyol) used across industrial, laboratory, and production environments. Known for its chemical stability, humectant properties, and low volatility, this material is ideal for non-critical applications such as cleaning agents, fermentation media, chemical synthesis, and pilot-scale formulations.
It appears as a white crystalline solid and conforms to general identification and physical property specifications, with a high melting point and negligible volatility under standard conditions.
