Description

Propylene Glycol Monolaurate is a non-ionic, food-grade emulsifier and solubilizer derived from lauric acid and propylene glycol. This versatile compound is essential for creating stable, uniform mixtures of oil and water phases in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, multifunctional additives for product consistency and performance.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an emulsifier in baked goods, whipped toppings, and coffee whiteners; used as a dispersing agent for flavors and colors.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a co-emulsifier, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a solubilizer and carrier for active ingredients in topical ointments, creams, and oral liquid formulations.
• Industrial Applications: Used as a lubricant and anti-static agent in plastics processing and textile manufacturing.
• Animal Nutrition: Employed as an emulsifier in feed premixes and liquid supplements.
