Description

Octadecanoic Acid, Ester With 1,2,3-Propanetriol Hexadecanoate is a high-purity mixed ester of glycerol, specifically a blend of stearate and palmitate esters. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a key emulsifier, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical ointments, creams, and suppositories for its non-irritating and stabilizing characteristics.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer (e.g., E471) in baked goods, dairy analogs, and other processed foods.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a component in mold release agents and textile lubricants.
• Plastics & Polymers: Employed as an internal lubricant and processing aid in polymer production.
• Candle & Wax Blends: Used to modify the melting point and texture of candle waxes and related products.
