Description

Glycerides, C16-22 And C18-Unsatd. is a defined mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides derived from a specific blend of saturated (C16-22) and unsaturated (C18) fatty acids. This composition provides a versatile, semi-solid to solid lipid base with unique melting and emulsifying properties critical for formulating stable and functional end products. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking consistent performance and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a key emollient, texture enhancer, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and deodorants.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a lipid excipient in semi-solid dosage forms like ointments, suppositories, and topical gels for drug delivery.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizing agent in certain food products and edible coatings.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a bio-based component in formulating lubricants, mold release agents, and anti-stick coatings.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex esters and surfactants for various industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Glycerides, C16-22 And C18-Unsatd. is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance characteristics relevant to its intended use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, iodine value, and melting point are available upon request. We can support compliance with relevant frameworks including GMP, ISO, and FCC where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage or after opening, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
