Description

D-Glucopyranoside, Methyl, Isooctadeanoate (2:3) is a specialized carbohydrate-derived surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance solubility and stability in challenging formulations, particularly those involving non-polar media. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking mild, biodegradable performance additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, especially for oil-soluble active ingredients like vitamins and UV filters.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in drug delivery systems to improve the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Industrial Surfactants: Functions as a non-ionic surfactant in agrochemical formulations, lubricant additives, and specialty cleaning products.
• Food-Grade Emulsifiers: Potential application as a food additive (subject to regulatory approval) for stabilizing emulsions in certain food products.
• Biodegradable Formulations: A key component in "green" chemistry applications requiring high-performance, environmentally benign surfactants.
