Description

Oleic Acid, Monoester With Triglycerol is a versatile chemical intermediate derived from the partial esterification of glycerol with oleic acid. This compound matters for its unique amphiphilic properties, acting as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier that bridges oil and water phases. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, food, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking natural-derived, multifunctional ingredients for stable formulations.

Application

• As a co-emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Functioning as a food-grade emulsifier and texturizing agent in bakery and dairy products.
• Utilized as a lubricant additive and anti-wear agent in biodegradable industrial lubricants.
• Acting as a plasticizer and processing aid in polymer and resin formulations.
• Serving as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex esters and surfactants.
• Used in pharmaceutical excipients for topical drug delivery systems.
