Description

Sucrose Hexalaurate is a high-purity, fully esterified sucrose fatty acid ester, specifically the hexaester of sucrose with lauric acid. This compound serves as a versatile and effective non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, prized for its excellent surface activity and biocompatibility. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking high-performance, multifunctional ingredients derived from renewable resources.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier and Stabilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Key Surfactant in high-end personal care products like shampoos and conditioners for its mildness.
• Food-Grade Emulsifier and texturizer in specialized food applications (subject to appropriate purity grade).
• Pharmaceutical Excipient used in topical formulations and as a solubilizing agent.
• Industrial Additive in lubricants, coatings, and agrochemical formulations for its dispersing properties.
• Biodegradable Surfactant in "green" or environmentally friendly cleaning products.
• Research & Development chemical for studying surfactant behavior and developing new delivery systems.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose Hexalaurate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for demanding applications in cosmetics and personal care. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and key physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which can affect product performance.
