Description

Glycerol Triacetylricinoleate is a high-purity, non-toxic ester derived from castor oil, known for its excellent plasticizing and emollient properties. This versatile compound is valued for its ability to enhance flexibility, improve texture, and provide consistent performance in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the plastics, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials.

Application

• Plasticizer for Polymers: Used as a secondary plasticizer and stabilizer in PVC, cellulose resins, and synthetic rubbers to improve flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a high-quality emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and makeup products.
• Food Contact Materials: Employed as a plasticizer in food packaging films and gaskets where non-toxicity and compliance are paramount.
• Specialty Lubricants: Functions as a base or additive in biodegradable lubricants, greases, and release agents.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a plasticizer in film coatings for tablets and capsules.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts flexibility and enhances adhesion properties in various adhesive formulations.
