Description

Glyceryl Hexacosanoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from glycerol and hexacosanoic acid (C26:0). This specialized compound is valued for its excellent stability and hydrophobic properties, making it a critical functional ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking to enhance product texture, consistency, and longevity.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a high-melting point emollient, thickener, and stabilizer in luxury creams, solid perfumes, lipsticks, and deodorant sticks.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a matrix former or release-modifying agent in controlled-release solid dosage forms and topical ointments.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a synthetic base stock or additive to improve lubricity, thermal stability, and water resistance in specialized applications.
• Food-Grade Release Agents: Employed as a component in mold release formulations for baking and confectionery processing.
• Surface Coatings & Polishes: Functions as a gloss-imparting agent and water repellent in automotive and furniture polishes.
• Plastic & Polymer Additive: Utilized as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid in polymer extrusion and molding.
