Description

Glycerol Dilactate is a versatile chemical compound formed by the esterification of glycerol with lactic acid. This product matters for its role as a humectant, solvent, and intermediate, offering a unique balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries for formulating stable and effective products. We supply high-purity Glycerol Dilactate CAS NO 37449-92-6 to meet stringent global quality requirements.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a humectant and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical formulations and as a solvent for active ingredients.
• Food Industry: Functions as a humectant and texturizing agent in certain food products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block or intermediate for more complex esters and polymers.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a plasticizer, lubricant additive, or in specialty cleaning formulations.
