  • Applications

    Glyceryl Hydroxystearate (CAS 104365-63-1) is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and nonionic surfactant/emulsifier, helping slip, skin conditioning, and stable emulsions. In polymer and plastics formulations, it can function as a processing aid and lubricant to improve processing and flow. In coatings and inks, it may act as an emulsifier or surfactant to stabilize dispersions. In cleaning and household products, it can serve as a surfactant and conditioning agent to improve spreading and skin feel. In industrial chemical manufacturing, it may be used as an intermediate or blending component in various syntheses.
