Description

Monoerucin CAS NO 28063-42-5 is a high-purity monoglyceride derived from erucic acid, a C22:1 fatty acid. This compound serves as a versatile and valuable intermediate in the synthesis of specialized lipids and surfactants. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for its unique emollient and structuring properties.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a non-greasy emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid-based carrier in drug delivery systems to enhance bioavailability.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a key raw material for producing biodegradable, high-performance emulsifiers and detergents.
• Food-Grade Additives: Employed as an emulsifier and stabilizer in specific food processing applications (subject to grade and regulatory approval).
• Lubricant & Release Agent: Functions as an effective component in mold release agents and specialty lubricants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for producing esters, amides, and other derivatives with tailored properties.
