Description

Glycerol 1,3-Diacetate 2-Myristate is a structured triglyceride, specifically a diacetin ester of myristic acid, offering unique solubility and plasticizing properties. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for its emollient characteristics and compatibility with various organic matrices.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Acts as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Plasticizer & Solubilizer: Used in specialty polymer and coating formulations to modify flexibility and solubility parameters.
• Food-Grade Additive (potential): May serve as a food emulsifier or texturizing agent, subject to specific regulatory approval and grade.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed as a solvent or carrier in topical drug delivery systems.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for the production of more complex esters and surfactants.
• Lubricant & Release Agent: Functions in industrial applications requiring non-greasy, organic-compatible lubricants.
