  • Applications

    Glyceryl 2-lactate 1,3-palmitate (CAS 150516-68-0) is a lipid-derived ester used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient, humectant, and conditioning agent for skin and hair; its surfactant and mild emulsifying properties support non-ionic emulsions in cosmetic and household formulations. In industry, it can function as a plasticizer and processing aid for biodegradable polymers such as PLA and PHA, improving ductility and processing behavior. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty esters and may be used as an additive for coatings and inks to modulate flow and film formation. Additionally, as a lipid-lactic ester, it may be evaluated as a lubricity agent or processing additive in various manufacturing applications.
