Description

D-Glucitol Trioleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and oleic acid, widely recognized for its excellent stabilizing and conditioning properties. This versatile compound is crucial for creating stable, high-quality formulations across diverse industries by effectively reducing surface tension and promoting ingredient compatibility. Key industrial users include manufacturers of personal care products, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and industrial lubricants who require a reliable, multifunctional ingredient.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations.
• Food Industry: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer (E495) in baked goods, confectionery, and edible oil blends.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in topical ointments and creams for its emulsifying and non-irritating properties.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as an additive in synthetic lubricants and mold release agents for metalworking and plastics.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and leather finishing.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing agent and flow improver in water-based coating systems.
