  • Applications

    Glyceryl monoundecylenate (CAS 65684-27-7) is used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and surfactant/emulsifier to help stabilize emulsions and impart a smooth feel in creams, lotions, and cleansers. It may also function as a compatible ester that supports oil‑in‑water balance in formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it is commonly employed as a plasticizer or processing aid for biobased polymers and can serve as a precursor for further ester derivatization. In coatings and inks, it can act as a surfactant or flow modifier to improve wetting and leveling of the coating. In household products, it serves as a surfactant and emulsifier in cleaners and detergents. Its use is formulation‑dependent and subject to local regulations and limits.
