Description

Adeps Solidus is a high-purity, refined solid fat derived from natural sources, known in commerce as Adeps Solidus CAS NO 80206-83-3. This compound serves as a critical excipient and base material, valued for its consistency and stability in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for ointments, creams, and other semi-solid products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Ointment Base: A primary ingredient in the formulation of topical medicinal ointments and creams, providing the necessary consistency and skin-feel.
• Cosmetic Creams & Lotions: Used as an emollient and stabilizer in cosmetic products such as moisturizers, body butters, and lip balms.
• Suppository Manufacturing: Acts as a key lipid base for the production of suppositories, ensuring proper melting characteristics and drug release.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into formulations for soaps, hair pomades, and other personal care items requiring a solid fat component.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in specialized industrial applications where a non-toxic, biodegradable solid lubricant or mold release agent is required.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or model compound in pharmaceutical and chemical R&D for studying lipid-based delivery systems.

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 storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain optimal quality and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
