Description

Glycerides, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd. Mono- And Di- is a high-purity, semi-synthetic lipid mixture primarily composed of mono- and diglycerides derived from specific C14-18 and unsaturated C16-18 fatty acid chains. This product matters as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, offering excellent stability and texture-modifying properties for demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking reliable, high-performance ingredients for emulsions, creams, and stabilizer systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth texture and enhanced skin feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems, ointment bases, and suppositories for its emulsifying and solubilizing properties.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier and anti-staling agent in baked goods, margarines, and whipped toppings to improve texture and shelf life.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a lubricant, anti-static agent, and processing aid in the production of plastics, textiles, and other synthetic materials.
• Nutraceuticals: Employed as a carrier lipid for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and other bioactive compounds in supplement formulations.
