Description

1,2,3-Propantriol, Homopolymer, Dodecanoat, Mittlere Molmasse Ca. 400-600 G/Mol (400-600 D) is a polymeric ester derived from glycerol and lauric acid, designed to offer a unique balance of lipophilic character and polymeric functionality. This product matters for formulators seeking a non-ionic, biodegradable intermediate with excellent emulsifying and solubilizing properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries for creating stable emulsions, improving texture, and modifying viscosity.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a versatile emulsifier, co-emulsifier, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a base or additive in biodegradable lubricants, mold release agents, and anti-fogging formulations.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a plasticizer or compatibilizer to improve the flexibility and processing of various polymer systems.
• Industrial Surfactants: Functions as a key component in the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants for industrial cleaning and agrochemicals.
• Food-Grade Additives (potential): With appropriate certification, can be explored as an emulsifier or carrier in food contact applications.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Suitable for use as a solubilizer or emulsifying agent in topical pharmaceutical preparations.

Quality Control

Our production of Polyglyceryl Laurate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in parameters such as acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, and fatty acid composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment. We can support compliance requirements for ISO, GMP, REACH, and FDA regulations as applicable to your specific grade and application.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
