Description

Sucrose Tristearate is a non-ionic, high-purity sucrose ester derived from sucrose and stearic acid. This versatile compound serves as a highly effective emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizing agent in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-origin, multifunctional ingredients to improve product consistency and shelf life.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in dairy products (e.g., ice cream, whipped toppings), baked goods, and confectionery to control texture and prevent separation.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in creams, lotions, and makeup as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Functions as an excipient in tablet coatings and topical formulations, aiding in drug delivery and improving product stability.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a dispersant, lubricant, and release agent in various chemical processes and polymer formulations.
• Biodegradable Materials: Investigated for use in the production of environmentally friendly plastics and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose Tristearate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming compliance with relevant standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
