Description

Glycerides, Coco Mono- (CAS NO 61789-05-7) is a non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil, consisting primarily of monoacylglycerols of coconut fatty acids. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a critical functional ingredient in numerous formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking natural-derived, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth texture and enhancing skin feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems, ointments, and creams for its emulsifying and solubilizing capabilities.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier (E471) in baked goods, margarines, and whipped toppings to improve texture and shelf life.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a lubricant, anti-static agent, and softening agent in textile processing and polymer production.
• Household & I&I Cleaning: Utilized in liquid soaps, detergents, and fabric softeners for its surfactant and conditioning properties.
