Description

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexa-o-Octadec-9-En-1-Yl-D-Glucitol CAS NO 97337-88-7 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stable emulsions and effective wetting. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for its mildness and performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth texture and enhanced skin feel.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a non-ionic surfactant in topical drug delivery systems and as an emulsifying agent in medicinal creams.
• Industrial Emulsifier: Employed in the production of polymer emulsions, agrochemical formulations, and textile processing aids.
• Food-Grade Applications: Serves as an emulsifier and dispersing agent in certain food additive preparations (subject to specific purity grades and regulatory approval).
• Lubricant and Release Agent: Used in mold release formulations and as a component in specialty lubricants due to its film-forming ability.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in chemical synthesis and analytical research.
