Description

10-Hydroxyoctadecanoic Acid, Monoester With Glycerol is a specialized monoglyceride derivative of hydroxy stearic acid. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, which provides excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties in complex formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for creating stable emulsions, improving texture, and enhancing product performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier and consistency factor in creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as an excipient in semi-solid dosage forms like creams and gels for its stabilizing and emollient effects.
• Food Industry Additives: Serves as an emulsifier and anti-spattering agent in certain food-grade applications (subject to compliance and grade).
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a thickening agent and stabilizer in specialty lubricant formulations.
• Polymer & Plastic Additives: Employed as an internal lubricant and processing aid to improve flow properties.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a softener and finishing agent to impart specific tactile properties.

Quality Control

Our 10-Hydroxyoctadecanoic Acid, Monoester With Glycerol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and hydroxyl value are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your B2B applications.

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, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) to maintain stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
