  • Applications

    Maltotriitol (CAS number: 32860-62-1) is used primarily as a humectant and stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care, helping to retain moisture and maintain texture. It also functions as an excipient and binder in pharmaceutical solid dosage forms, supporting tablet strength and disintegration profiles. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a polyol processing aid and plasticizer for polymers, coatings and adhesives, improving flexibility and processing characteristics. It can be a building block or intermediate in polyol-based resins and polyurethane systems, contributing to resin networks and performance. Additionally, it may act as a water-compatible solvent or carrier in formulated products and as a processing aid in inks and coatings due to its hygroscopic nature.
