Description

(Z)-3-[2-Hydroxy-3-(9-Octadecenyloxy)Propoxy]Propane-1,2-Diol is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate characterized by its unique oleyl-derived hydrophobic chain and glycerol-based hydrophilic head. This structure matters for its ability to act as an effective emulsifier, solubilizer, and conditioning agent in formulations requiring excellent surface activity and biocompatibility. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable emulsions and enhancing product performance.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• As a solubilizing agent for fragrances and essential oils in clear gel and aqueous formulations.
• As a skin-conditioning agent and emollient in high-end personal care products.
• As a component in pharmaceutical topical delivery systems for enhanced active ingredient penetration.
• As a surfactant and dispersant in specialty industrial and agrochemical formulations.
• As a raw material for the synthesis of more complex polymeric surfactants and esters.
