Description

Zinc Glycerolate CAS NO 16754-68-0 is an organometallic compound formed by the reaction of zinc oxide with glycerol. This material serves as a versatile and effective source of bioavailable zinc, offering superior compatibility and stability in various formulations. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and nutritional supplement industries as a functional active ingredient or stabilizer.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a gentle, non-irritating source of zinc in deodorants, anti-acne creams, and skin protectants for its astringent and antimicrobial properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in topical ointments, creams, and medicated powders for wound healing and skin conditions.
• Nutritional Supplements: Serves as a source of bioavailable zinc in mineral supplements, often valued for its improved solubility and absorption profile compared to inorganic salts.
• Polymer Stabilizer: Acts as a heat stabilizer and acid scavenger in PVC and other polymer formulations, helping to prevent degradation during processing.
• Industrial Catalysis: Functions as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in specific organic synthesis reactions.

Quality Control

Our Zinc Glycerolate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as zinc content, heavy metals, and microbiological limits are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in its original, sealed packaging to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
