Description

Glycerides, C14-18 Mono- And Di- is a defined mixture of mono- and diglycerides derived from C14-18 fatty acids, primarily used as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is essential for creating stable emulsions and modifying texture in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking consistent performance and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texture modifier in baked goods, margarine, ice cream, and processed foods.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifying agent, opacifier, and viscosity builder in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in topical ointments, creams, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a lubricant, anti-static agent, and processing aid in plastics and textile manufacturing.
• Animal Nutrition: Employed as an energy-dense fat source and pellet binder in feed formulations.
