Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate is a non-ionic, polymeric emulsifier derived from natural sources, specifically a polyglycerol ester of polycondensed ricinoleic acid. This compound is highly valued for its exceptional ability to stabilize water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, providing long-term stability and a smooth, creamy texture. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-origin, high-performance emulsifiers for challenging formulations.

Application

• Food Industry: Primary emulsifier for chocolate, compound coatings, and low-fat spreads to prevent fat bloom and ensure smooth consistency.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Key component in W/O creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup (e.g., foundations, lipsticks) for stable emulsions and rich skin feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in topical ointments, creams, and controlled-release drug delivery systems requiring stable emulsion bases.
• Bakery & Confectionery: Improves aeration, texture, and shelf-life in fillings, icings, and whipped toppings.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a lubricant, release agent, or emulsifier in specialty greases and mold release formulations.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It can be produced to meet various grade specifications, including Food Grade (compliant with FCC, EU directive E 476) and Kosher standards. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters such as acid value, hydroxyl value, and fatty acid composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and compliance is available for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of water.
