  • Applications

    d-alpha-Tocopheryl acid succinate (CAS 17407-37-3) is a water-dispersible ester of tocopherol commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent; in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals it serves as a vitamin E prodrug/excipient to support formulation stability and delivery; in nutrition it is used as a vitamin E fortificant in dietary supplements and as a feed additive for animal nutrition; in polymers and plastics (including packaging) it acts as an antioxidant stabilizer to retard oxidative degradation during processing and in service; in coatings, inks and adhesives it provides radical scavenging protection to help preserve material properties and longevity.
